Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says he takes responsibility for a late-game decision that contributed to the team’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Multiple outlets report that Sirianni directly blamed himself for the outcome, stating that he “lost us that game” after the Eagles’ strategy in the final seconds went wrong.
The controversy centers on how the Eagles handled the game’s closing moments, including a kickoff in the last minute that ended up proving costly. CBS Sports, Newsweek and Yahoo Sports all describe Sirianni’s acceptance of blame, while the New York Post frames it as a crushing defeat with wider context for the NFC East. The reports also note that NFL rule changes affecting touchbacks have helped create unusual end-of-game scenarios, contributing to the stakes and the difficulty of managing the finish.
