Nick Sirianni was feeling himself after the Eagles held off the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The Eagles escaped out of Buffalo with a 13-12 win. The Eagles led 13-0 at halftime, but the Bills made a valiant comeback attempt in the final six minutes.
Buffalos cored a touchdown with 5:11 remaining to make the score 13-6, but missed the extra point. After forcing a punt, the Bills put together a 13-play, 83-yard drive that was capped off with a Josh Allen 1-yard touchdown run with five seconds left. Sean McDermott opted to go for two rather than kick the extra point to send the game to overtime.
It was the right decision but it wasn’t executed as Josh Allen missed a wide-open Khalil Shakir on the play, handing Philadelphia a 13-12 victory.
After the game, Sirianni was very vocal in the tunnel heading back to his team’s locker room. Cameras caught him yelling something about Buffalo fans talking, and “not so much anymore.” Then he punctuated it by saying, “Not so much anymore. Love this sh-t”
This is not the first time Sirianni has taken trash-talking from fans to heart. Last season, he was seen going at it with fans in the stands during a 20-16 win over the Browns. He also had a postgame run-in with Zach Ertz last year following a matchup with the Commanders, but later called his former player to apologize.
Sirianni can get a bit loose during and after games, but the Eagles may have to take that to go along with the good he does. His team has won three in a row and have are division champions for the second straight year. The defending Super Bowl champions seem to be getting it together at the right time after falling to 8-5 after an embarrassing Week 14 loss to the Chargers.
Philadelphia will finish the season at home against Washington next week and has a chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
