Daily News | Eagles’ Nick Sirianni wins one for Frank Reich, in spite of his decision-making
INDIANAPOLIS – As Nick Sirianni walked off the field following his Eagles’ 17-16 comeback victory over the Colts on Sunday, he yelled to no one in particular, but maybe loud enough so Jim Irsay in the owner’s box could hear, “That’s for Frank!”
The Eagles are 9-1 — the only NFL team remaining with one loss — largely because of Sirianni. But Sunday’s game wasn’t one of his best. Maybe coming back here amid the controversy over Reich’s departure and following the first defeat of the season, played some part in the coach’s questionable decision making.
when it ultimately mattered, however, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter to rally from 10- and six-point deficits. Trailing 13-3 in the third quarter, the coach went to his key players with a message.And Hurts, much as he has all season, as he continues to build a case as the league’s most valuable player, got it done in the clutch with his arm and legs. But mostly it was his running that vaulted the Eagles past the Colts.
Four penalties — three of which came on consecutive plays — marred the first two possessions. On the third drive, center Jason Kelce’s high snap at the 2-yard line reversed the Eagles and forced them to settle for a 22-yard field goal.
