The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their first loss of the season on Monday night when the Washington Commanders handed them a stunning 32-21 defeat. And while many fans took to social media to absolutely blast the referees during Monday night’s game, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has a much more simple explanation for his team’s struggles.
During his postgame press conference, got really blunt about the way his team played on Monday night, saying “we played like crap.”
“When you play the way we did tonight, and when you play the way we did in all three phases — offense, defense, special teams, coaching — when you play like that, it seems like everything is going against you,” Nick Sirianni said, according to Pro Football Talk. “You create your own luck. And we played like crap. We didn’t do a good enough job. If it feels like things go against you, those plays, those scenarios, when you play like that, get magnified. Whether it was the right call or the wrong call. We made our own luck today, and it was bad.”
The Eagles will have a chance to rebound from Monday’s loss with a game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon. Despite the loss, the team is still in first place in the hotly-contested NFC East.
