Eagles’ Win in Buffalo Triggers Fresh Scrutiny of Sirianni and an Offense Stuck in Neutral

Coaches are reexamining the scheme as Vic Fangio’s defense sets the tone for the 11-5 NFC East champions heading into the playoffs.

Overview

  • Philadelphia edged Buffalo 13-12 on the road after Josh Allen’s late two-point try failed, preserving the Eagles’ third straight win.
  • Nick Sirianni was filmed taunting Bills fans postgame and drew online criticism, later saying on WIP that showing emotion is part of the fun.
  • The offense mustered roughly 16–17 yards after halftime with Jalen Hurts 0-for-7, prompting Sirianni to accept blame and OC Kevin Patullo to say the staff is reviewing everything for fixes.
  • Fangio’s unit held Buffalo to a season-low 12 points and ranks near the top of the NFL in scoring defense, with returns by Jalen Carter and Jihaad Campbell boosting the group.
  • At 11-5 with the NFC East clinched, Philadelphia’s power-rankings movement reflects respect for its defense and concern about the offense, and Sirianni has not announced whether starters will rest in Week 18.
