Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Srianni responded to A.J. Brown’s assertion that the receiver and QB Jalen Hurts went off script at the end of the Seahawks game.
The throw that was picked off to end the Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks, after they blew a late lead in Seattle three weeks ago, wasn’t to try to draw a pass interference penalty like head coach Nick Sirianni said at the time.
A.J. Brown, who Jalen Hurts’ pass was intended for in what turned into a miserable 20-17 loss on that Monday night, was a case of Brown and Hurts going rogue.
And Sirianni is fine with that, fine enough with it to spin it that way, to take all the blame on his shoulders and absolve his players of the blame. The Eagles’ coach is the very definition of a players’ coach.
