Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni denies allegations that he flipped off home fans after the team’s Week 9 loss to the New York Giants. Multiple outlets report that a viral video prompted questions about whether Sirianni purposefully directed a middle finger toward supporters as the Eagles walked off the field following the defeat.

The denials are consistent across coverage. Fox News, ESPN, CBS Sports, Newsweek, and the New York Post all describe Sirianni responding to the social-media clip, with several noting he rejected the claim and said it was a surprise. Coverage also ties the incident to a broader period of poor results for Philadelphia, including home frustration and booing from fans.

Outlets further provide season context. Yahoo Sports repeats that the Eagles have now dropped seven straight, referencing the 19-11 scoreline against the Giants and framing the denial as part of a continuing skid. Newsweek and other outlets similarly mention boos at the stadium, but the overall reporting centers on the same disputed gesture and Sirianni’s response.
