Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni believes his team tacklesd well in New England, reveals record when his team wins the turnover battle, and talks about Jalen Hurts' ball security.
PHILADELPHIA – Nick Sirianni crunched some numbers coming out of the 14-13 win over the Patriots last Thursday night and revealed them to the media when he spoke over the weekend.Start with No. 4. That is how many tackles the Eagles coach said the defense missed in New England. It felt like more, maybe, because two came on the same play with James Bradberry and Jeremiah Trotter, Jr., whiffing in the open field on Patriots receiver Ja’Lynn Polk.
As for the No. 20, that’s how many wins the Eagles have the past three years with Sirianni as the head coach when they win the turnover battle.“We put so much emphasis on winning the turnover battle,” he said. “I don't know if you guys know, I went over this with the team the other day, but in the past three years – 2021, 2022, 2023 – when we’ve won the turnover battle, we're 20-1.
“And so that's a product of him. He's taking what the defense is giving him. That's good quarterback play, right? Good quarterback play, the quarterback play I get so excited about is, ‘Hey, we have this shot on or we have this intermediate chunk on and they didn't give it to you and then we take a checkdown for 10 yards.’ That's awesome football.
