Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was seen on camera yelling and gesturing toward a group of fans at the end of Sunday's 20-16 home win over the Cleveland Browns as boos rained down for parts of a game in which the offense sputtered at times and the talent-rich Eagles struggled to separate from the now 1-5 Browns, Time McManus of ESPN reports.

Sirianni, wearing a wry smile and offering a wink, said he was "just excited to get the win" in explaining his interaction with the fans and praised the crowd for being loud and inducing a couple of Cleveland false-start penalties.

But when asked about the jeering the Eagles received in their home stadium, Sirianni acknowledged they could do without the negativity.

"We thrive off the crowd when they cheer for us. That's all I'll say," Sirianni said. "We hear them when they boo. We don't necessarily like it. I don't think that's productive for anybody. But when they cheer for us and when we've got them rolling, we love it."

Sirianni has been a subject of criticism following last season's collapse, when an Eagles team that started 10-1 skidded to a 1-6 finish, leading to the firing of his offensive and defensive coordinators.

The on-field product this season has left something to be desired.

The offense has been a point of frustration given the level of talent -- the group boasts one of the best offensive lines in football and features A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley at the skill positions -- versus the results to this point.

Since scoring 34 points in the opener against the Green Bay Packers, the Eagles have averaged 18 points in the four games since. Brown, though, has appeared in only two games because of injury, and other top players such as Smith and tackle Lane Johnson also have missed time.

Although not overwhelming, there were some sections of the crowd that started "Fire Nick" chants during a couple of down moments in the game.

And Sirianni was by far the most demonstrative he has been on the sideline this year. He jawed with multiple Browns defensive backs, including corner Greg Newsome II, and grew animated with referees on multiple occasions.
