Did Nick Sirianni Flip The Bird At Philly Fans After Sunday’s Loss? Eagles Coach Gives Straight Answer After Footage Goes Viral [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Nick Sirianni endured a rough Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The Philadelphia Eagles lost 19-11 to the New York Giants, dropping to 2-7.
Punter Braden Mann also had an embarrassing sequence during the loss. That defeat extended Philadelphia’s losing streak to seven games. Joe Milton started at quarterback over Tanner McKee, but the offense still struggled.
Sirianni has since faced an accusation. Eagle Times posted a video late Sunday night that it says shows him seemingly flipping off booing fans on his way to the tunnel.
“2024: Sirianni cups his ear and chirps at his own fans. Today: he seemingly flips them off after getting booed 🤯 Is he done in Philly?” the post reads.
Check it out here:
“def the middle finger,” someone wrote in the comments.
“I’m not seeing it, he’s not that stupid. He’s emotional and gets fired up but not here,” another user posted.
“Nick is so egregious and animated with everything he does , for that reason i highly doubt he was flipping anyone off he would’ve made it known,” a third user wrote.
Sirianni Denies The Gesture As Eagles Head Into A Bye Week
Sirianni addressed the clip on Monday after reporters asked about it.
“Absolutely not,” he remarked. Sirianni also said the accusation was “a surprise to me,” reiterating “but absolutely not.”
The Eagles have not won since September and are headed into a bye week. Sirianni did not rule out staff changes during the extended break, though he suggested he wouldn’t rush to a decision.
“Everything can always be on the table, but I don’t think you change just to change because that’s what your record says that — you’ve got to look at what’s really real and not react to anything else,” he said.
Philly returns to action against the 6-2 Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday 22. The NFL just made a flex move involving that game.
