Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has taken a lot of heat since the start of the 2024 season and it only got much worse after a clip of him went viral for chirping at fans in Week 6.
However, his quarterback Jalen Hurts has his back.
Following Sunday's dominant 28-3 win over NFC East rival New York Giants, Hurts took a moment to stand up for Sirianni.
“Obviously he knows that I'm behind him," Hurts told reporters after the game. "He knows that communication is important among this team sport and he's been doing a really good job of doing that.“We talk about everybody dominating their box and trying to check off your box given the roles you have. I feel like he's really come in with really good intensity, intentionality, and delivering good messages for us to be focused and be on the same page. He's also apologetic when he needs to be.”
Sirianni and Hurts had their problems last fall but appear to have taken big strides to fix their relationship this year, which is very important for them as they look to stay on the winning track with hopes of returning to their 2022 Super Bowl contender ways.
Hurts didn't have a flashy game in the Eagles' Sunday win and was sacked four times, though he continued to prove he could get the job done no matter what. He finished the day completing 10 of 14 pass attempts for 141 yards and a touchdown. Hurts also rushed seven times for 22 yards, scoring two rushing touchdowns.
The Eagles advanced to 4-2 on the season and moved up to second in their division. They'll face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8.
