‘I lost us that game’: Nick Sirianni owns up to brutal kicking decision that cost Eagles win
Similar to the Cowboys in Week 3, Sirianni was criticized for questionable game management with the Eagles protecting a lead vs. the Jaguars.
Nick Sirianni, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, admitted his poor decision-making led to the team's loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After trailing by two points with less than ten seconds left in the game, the Eagles opted against having their kicker Jake Elliott kick a touchback, opting instead to have Ameer Abdullah make a 53-yard return.
This move set up a winning field goal for Cam Little, resulting in a Jaguars victory. Sirianni took full responsibility for the loss, stating, "I lost us that game. That one’s on me. I didn't make the right decision." He emphasized that his team fought hard, but the poor choice of not kicking the ball into the end zone proved to be a catastrophic error.
