Head Coach Nick Sirianni Praises “Underdog” Moro Ojomo After Win Over Packers – A $30 Million Steal and the Embodiment of the Eagles’ Spirit
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – November 12, 2025
Following the Philadelphia Eagles’ gritty 10–7 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, head coach Nick Sirianni couldn’t hide his admiration for one of the team’s most surprising breakout stars — Moro Ojomo.
He’s not a household name, nor a high-priced free agent. Yet Ojomo — earning just $827,000 this season — became the unsung hero of the night with a crucial 4th-and-1 stop that sealed the win for the defending champions. His instinctive read on the play, bursting through the gap to bring down Josh Jacobs for a loss, epitomized everything Sirianni preaches about Eagles football.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Sirianni said with quiet conviction:
“Sometimes football doesn’t need the bright lights. It just needs someone who believes in their role, stands in the right place at the right time, and is willing to sacrifice for the team. He’s the embodiment of that — a player who doesn’t need attention to make a difference.”
Local media have dubbed Ojomo “the $30 million bargain,” a nod to the fact that he’s outperforming Milton Williams, the former Eagle who left to sign a four-year, $104 million deal with the New England Patriots.
Through nine games this season, Ojomo has tallied 4.0 sacks, 8 quarterback hits, 20 tackles, and one pass deflection, earning an impressive PFF grade of 78, ranking him among the top 10 interior defensive linemen in the NFL.
Team sources note that Ojomo is often the first player to arrive at practice and the last to leave, working closely with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to refine his technique and game awareness.
“Eagles football has always been about guys like him,” Sirianni added. “Players who don’t need fame — just an opportunity to prove that heart and belief can overcome any limit.”
In a locker room filled with stars and Super Bowl expectations, Moro Ojomo has quietly become the embodiment of the Eagles’ identity — where underdogs rise, fight, and remind the world what true Philadelphia grit looks like.
