Nick Sirianni shuts down any concern surrounding Eagles' passing attack and A.J. Brown's lack of targets
The Philadelphia Eagles are en route to the NFC Championship and people are still talking about the team's passing attack and A.J. Brown's lack of targets.
However, head coach Nick Sirianni was more than ready to shut down any concern about that when prompted to address it during Monday's press conference following the team's 28-22 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
As Jalen Hurts' No. 1 receiver, Brown has had just three receptions for 24 yards on 10 total targets so far during the Eagles' playoff run.
While that may seem like a concern, it's simply not when the Eagles are winning football games.
"Yeah, we’re doing everything we can do to win each football game," Sirianni said. "I think you saw yesterday we were able to win the turnover battle. We were able to take care of the ball in the elements. They had some turnovers that we were able to create yesterday. So, again, you do everything you can do to win each and every game. There is going to be a game that we’re going to have to throw a bunch, and there’s going to be a game we have to run a bunch.
"Again, I wouldn’t say I have a level of concern of anything there. I know we’re able to win both ways. I know we can win passing the ball. I know we can win running the ball. Just so happens a little bit more this year, we’ve won running the football."
What has been working so far is their run game with running back Saquon Barkley rushing for 325 yards and two scores through Philly's first two playoff games.
And as long as that keeps working, Sirianni is going to keep the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
"We’re in this position now to play in the NFC Championship Game, which is special. I know we’ve got the right people in place all the way on our offense, our coaches," Sirianni said. "Yeah, we’re doing what we need to do to win each game.
"Like I said, if that means throw it 50 times, we’ll do that. If it means run it 50 times, we’ll do that as well."
