  "account": "Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni vehemently rejected allegations that he made an obscene gesture towards fans during Sunday's Week 9 loss to the New York Giants. The incident, captured on video and widely shared online, took place as Sirianni walked off the field after the 19-11 defeat. Despite the viral footage, Sirianni categorically denied the claim, stating unequivocally, \"Absolutely not.\" Following the game, the Eagles, who are currently 2-7 on the season and without their star quarterback Jalen Hurts, replaced starter Tanner McKee with Joe Milton. Milton contributed 169 passing yards and 64 rushing yards in the loss. As the team prepares for their Week 10 bye, Sirianni and the Eagles will aim to regroup before the crucial remaining games of the 2026 regular season.",
