Eagles HC Nick Sirianni Breaks His Silence After Philadelphia Gets Booed Off the Field for Another Offensive Meltdown

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – November 28, 2025

After a frustrating 24–15 loss to the Chicago Bears, the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just take a hit in the standings — they were engulfed by a wave of boos from their own home crowd at Lincoln Financial Field. And this time, it wasn’t just quarterback Jalen Hurts or the offense in the spotlight. Head coach Nick Sirianni found himself directly in the crossfire.

One day after the game, Sirianni finally addressed the eruption of criticism and the growing anger surrounding the Eagles’ collapsing offense.

The boos started on the first drive — and never stopped

The Eagles produced fewer than 100 total yards and zero first-half touchdowns. It marked their second straight game without scoring across four full quarters — and the Philly crowd refused to ignore it.

From the opening 5-play punt to the first drive of the second half, the boos echoed relentlessly. Every mistake, every wasted snap, every misfire from the offense ignited the stadium.

Sirianni: “We deserved every bit of it”

Sirianni faced the criticism head-on.

“I understand the boos. We didn’t play well. I didn’t coach well. And when you perform like that in Philly, you have to accept the reaction.”

Even on the broadcast, cameras caught Sirianni slamming his play sheet in frustration as the offense repeatedly stalled.

He specifically acknowledged key moments that fueled the crowd’s anger:

  • Hurts missing a wide-open DeVonta Smith on 3rd & 8

  • letting the clock wind aimlessly late in the first half

  • opening the second half with a three-and-out, then an INT, then a tush-push fumble

  • Each mistake felt heavier than the last.

    “Our offense has lost its edge,” Sirianni admits

    Sirianni emphasized that the talent is there — but execution, precision, and situational discipline are missing.

    “We have the roster to win. What we don’t have right now is the sharpness in key moments… and it’s killing us.”

    Philadelphia’s defense showed up — the offense did not

    That contrast fueled even more frustration among fans. The defense kept the Eagle afloat for most of the first half, generating pressure and opportunities. But the offense repeatedly:

    • squandered scoring chances

  • failed to sustain drives

  • collapsed in pivotal situations

  • The turning point came when the defense forced a turnover in Chicago territory — only for the offense to immediately fumble the tush push attempt.

    The boos exploded again.

    Sirianni: “We will fix this. And we have to fix it now.”

    Despite the mounting pressure, Sirianni said he still believes the team can correct course quickly.

    “I hear the boos. I understand them. And the responsibility is on me. But I believe this team can stand back up — and we will prove it next week.”

    Philadelphia now turns toward a critical Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers — a game that may define not only the Eagles’ season, but Sirianni’s future.

    Less Than 48 Hours After AFC Championship 7-10 Loss to Patriots, Broncos Stun NFL by Firing OC Super Bowl XLIV Joe Lombardi
    Less Than 48 Hours After AFC Championship Loss, Broncos Stun NFL by Firing Super Bowl XLIV OC Joe Lombardi Denver, Colorado – January 2026 Less than 48 hours after a heartbreaking 10–7 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, the Denver Broncos sent shockwaves through the NFL. In a move few saw coming, Denver dismissed offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, signaling an immediate and unforgiving response to falling one step short of the Super Bowl. The decision was first reported and confirmed by Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The timing alone raised eyebrows across the league, as postseason firings typically follow deeper internal reviews. Instead, Denver acted swiftly, making it clear that even a conference championship appearance would not shield staff from accountability. The #Broncos fired OC Joe Lombardi, per me and @TomPelissero. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 27, 2026 Lombardi spent three seasons in Denver under head coach Sean Payton, a long-time collaborator from their years together with the Saints. Lombardi was part of New Orleans’ Super Bowl XLIV championship staff in 2009 and was widely respected for his system knowledge and experience in high-pressure environments. That résumé made the decision even more surprising. Adding to the shock, Lombardi was credited internally with unlocking the potential of rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Before Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle, Denver’s offense had shown notable growth and composure. Many around the league believe the Broncos might have won the AFC Championship had Nix been healthy enough to finish the game. Complicating the aftermath, a controversial quote attributed to Lombardi circulated online shortly after his dismissal, alleging wrongdoing by New England. “The Patriots cheated and it cost me my job,” the statement read. Neither the Broncos nor the NFL substantiated the claim, and team sources stressed the firing was strictly performance-based, not influenced by outside narratives. Inside the organization, the move is being framed as a necessary reset. While Payton is known for loyalty to his assistants, the lack of offensive rhythm in the championship game — particularly with the backup quarterback — reportedly accelerated the decision. Denver’s leadership appears unwilling to allow postseason stagnation to linger. With Bo Nix positioned as the franchise cornerstone, the Broncos will now search for a modern offensive coordinator capable of thriving under playoff pressure. By acting immediately, Denver sent a clear message to the league: close is not close enough. In a Super Bowl-or-bust era, the margin for patience in Denver has officially vanished.
