Overview
- Late Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, Sirianni kept the offense on the field on fourth-and-goal from the Rams' 2, the play failed, and Los Angeles then drove 98 yards to turn a 20-10 deficit into a 24-20 win.
- Sirianni publicly accepted responsibility after the loss, saying in effect that the decision falls on the head coach when a go-for-it call does not succeed.
- Philadelphia's offense struggled throughout the game, finishing with 172 total yards, converting 0 of 12 third-down attempts, and scoring no points in the second half.
- Local CBS Philadelphia captured sharp fan backlash in the stadium parking lot, with multiple supporters loudly criticizing Sirianni and calling for change.
- Analysts noted the fourth-down choice can be defensible as a math-driven gamble given the two-yard distance while warning that the team’s offensive woes and the loss could increase scrutiny of Sirianni’s play-calling and job security.
