‘I Lost Us that Game’: Nick Sirianni Owns up to Costly Kicking Decision that Doomed Eagles
Sirianni said his kickoff decision cost Philadelphia after Ameer Abdullah’s 53-yard return set up Cam Little’s 57-yard winner.
On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 19-17 in London after kicker Cam Little made a 57-yard field goal as time expired at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Leading 17-16 with eight seconds remaining, the Eagles opted for a returnable kickoff, allowing Ameer Abdullah to return the ball 53 yards and set up the Jaguars' winning score.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni accepted full accountability after the game, telling reporters, "I didn't make the right decision and I lost us that game" regarding the kickoff decision.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts stated "it's not my place" while implying the play call came from Sirianni, admitting he often disagrees with the coach's play-calling but does not speak up.
The loss dropped the Eagles to 2-3, marking three straight defeats and prompting frustrated fans to express discontent on social media about an apparent divide between Hurts and the coaching staff.
