NFL fans ridicule Nick Sirianni as Eagles HC mouths off at crowd after 20-16 win vs Browns - "He is such a loser"
The Philadelphia Eagles returned from the bye week with a win against the Cleveland Browns, but it was far from perfect for Jalen Hurts' team. They had to grind it out against one of the worst teams in the NFL, even though the Browns struggled to do anything offensively the whole game.
After the victory was confirmed, a curious scene was filmed on the sideline. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, currently under fire for his team's poor performances, was seen screaming a few words into the crowd, almost as if he wanted to troll his critics with the win confirmed.
However, how Philadelphia had to grind out the game against such a bad team certainly wasn't impressive - and didn't warrant the reaction at the end of the game. NFL fans were harsh on Sirianni, who's known for his brash personality.
Afterward, the coach spoke about his reaction with his kids sitting by his side, stating that he was just excited because of the win.
A. J. Brown's return fuels Eagles win against the Browns
Having a bye week so early in the season is something that NFL teams usually don't like. In Philadelphia's case, however, it was much needed with the inactives they had in Week 4. The trio of A. J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Lane Johnson all returned from injuries, and they all dominated on Sunday.
Brown was the most special player for the Eagles' offense. He finished the game with six catches, 116 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also making a vital catch that ended the game.
Lane Johnson, on his part, had 28 pass-blocking reps during the game and didn't allow a single pressure. DeVonta Smith scored a 45-yard touchdown and ended the game with three catches for 64 yards. All returning players were important, and Philadelphia certainly welcomed their returns.
But this was still a game where Philadelphia should've won with ease, and while the schedule will help them get things right over the next few weeks, they had the perfect time to do so during the bye week. The most important thing for the Eagles is they walked away with a win.
