Eagles coach Nick Sirianni appeared to yell obscenities at Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson after a hit on quarterback Jalen Hurts forced Hurts to leave the game for a concussion evaluation Monday night. Afterwards, Sirianni regretted it.
Sirianni said after the Eagles’ 27-7 loss to the Bears that he didn’t think Jackson, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness, was trying to make a dirty play.
“You always want to fight for your players and protect them,” Sirianni said. “I always come away when I have a moment like that with remorse. ‘Man, I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the best of me.’ These guys are trying to make a play. It was tight on the sideline. It ended up being a penalty, obviously you never want to see your quarterback get hit like that. But it’s in the heat of the moment, I know no one is trying to hurt anyone, and I always feel remorseful when I act that way. But I always like to fight for our players. I love our guys. So the emotion of the match probably got the better of me today and I have to learn from it. At that time, I need to be more stable in this situation. Being able to move on and move on to the next piece. I didn’t like the way I handled this.
Sirianni criticized himself in his post-match comments, saying he had been outplayed. After the Eagles’ first loss, Sirianni has some things he needs to work on.
