Nick Sirianni flips his wig after assistants nearly miss challenge opportunity

Saying the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams game got off to a scorching start would be a very gross understatement. L.A. got the ball first and ripped down the field on a drive punctuated by a 15-yard Matthew Stafford scramble, obviously his longest of the current NFL season.

Darius Slay and Reed Blankenship were injured and lost on the next play, another long-gainer by the Rams. Blame some friendly fire for that.

They were replaced by Isaiah Rodgers and Tristin McCollum. They'd return, but Isaiah certainly made his impression felt, forcing a fumble. Unfortunately, the officials almost butchered the call.

Nick Sirianni flips out after the Eagles almost missed out on a challenge oppportunity.

So, here's the rule (as it is written as was explained by a rules expert during the Eagles vs. Rams broadcast. Even if the on-field officials miss any teams' head coach throwing the challenge flag, replay assist can jelp out by stating play needs to be stopped. It also seems as though it wouldn't matter that another offensive play was called.

The evidence of this is what we saw while watching the Rams' first offensive drive on Sunday Night Football end. The refs in this one missed an obvious fumble. Nick Sirianni threw the red flag in the nick of time, and somewhere in there, he flipped on his assistant coaches because they didn't advise him to challenge the play quickly enough.

We know that's a lot. The moral of the story is the Birds got the ball. The officials eventually got the call correct, and officiating in the NFL is still awful.

The Eagles are involved in an early dogfight on the road.
