Eagles coach Nick Sirianni apologized for his interaction with a group of fans at the end of Sunday's home game against the Cleveland Browns.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni appears to yell at the home crowd during closing moments of Eagles win over the Browns. Tim McManus covers the Philadelphia Eagles for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2016 after covering the Eagles for Philadelphia Magazine's Birds 24/7, a site he helped create, since 2010. You can follow him on Twitter @Tim_McManus.
Sirianni, wearing a wry smile and offering a wink, said he was"just excited to get the win" in explaining his interaction with the fans postgame. He praised the crowd for being loud and inducing a couple of Cleveland false-start penalties. "We thrive off the crowd when they cheer for us. That's all I'll say," Sirianni said Sunday."We hear them when they boo. We don't necessarily like it. I don't think that's productive for anybody. But when they cheer for us and when they we've got them rolling, we love it."
The on-field product this season has left something to be desired. The offense has been a point of frustration given the level of talent --the group boasts one of the best offensive lines in football and featuresSirianni was by far the most demonstrative he's been on the sideline this year. He jawed with multiple Browns defensive backs, including corner Greg Newsome, and grew animated with referees on multiple occasions.
