Eagles' Late-Game Decisions Scrutinized After Loss to Falcons

Nick Sirianni defends his strategy despite the Eagles' collapse in the final minutes against Atlanta.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni stood by his decision to kick a field goal late in the game, increasing their lead to six points.
The Eagles were on the Falcons' 10-yard line with 1:46 remaining, but a dropped pass by Saquon Barkley and the subsequent field goal gave Atlanta an opportunity.
The Falcons, led by Kirk Cousins, drove 70 yards in the final minute and a half to score the game-winning touchdown.
Sirianni consulted analytics and past game scenarios to justify his decision, citing similar unsuccessful fourth-down attempts by other teams.
Critics, including former Eagles players, questioned the conservative play-calling and the defense's inability to stop the Falcons' final drive.
