Sirianni Regrets Sideline Outburst
Philadelphia Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni Regrets Shouting at Bears Player Following Jalen Hurts Concussion Evaluation
Anonymous
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni appeared to shout an obscenity at Chicago Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson after Jackson’s hit sent quarterback Jalen Hurts for a concussion evaluation during Monday night’s game. Sirianni later said he regretted his reaction, while acknowledging the medical staff had to protect players. Hurts was cleared to return, but backup Andy Dalton threw an end-zone interception during his brief absence, ending a promising drive. The Eagles also objected to an earlier intentional-grounding penalty against Hurts, and Chicago won 27-7.
Key Points
1
The hit on Hurts drew an unnecessary-roughness penalty against D’Marco Jackson. The broadcast also reported that the NFL’s New York offices called for Hurts to be evaluated for a possible concussion.
2
Philadelphia had driven 95 yards to first-and-goal at Chicago’s 1-yard line before Hurts left. Dalton’s interception came on third-and-goal from the 2, wiping out the scoring chance.
3
Hurts’ first-quarter intentional-grounding penalty came after a short throw that bounced near tight end Johnny Mundt, who appeared to be in the area; the Eagles’ drive ended with a punt from Chicago’s 46-yard line.
4
After leaving the medical tent, Hurts was shown on the sideline yelling at medical staff, according to the account of his return.
