Eagles coach Nick Sirianni emphasizes the need for fresh tactics in their upcoming game against the Commanders
Philadelphia: So, the Eagles and Commanders are gearing up for their third showdown this Sunday in the NFC Championship Game. Nick Sirianni, the Eagles’ head coach, knows they need to bring some fresh plays to the table since they’ve already faced each other twice this season.
Sirianni mentioned that when you play a team multiple times, you start to pick up on their moves. He said, “They’ll have new wrinkles for us, and we’ll have new wrinkles for them.” It’s all about keeping things interesting and unpredictable.
In their previous matchups, the Eagles took the win in Week 11 with a score of 26-18, but the Commanders turned the tables in Week 16, winning 36-33. That game was a standout for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, and Sirianni knows they’re up against a talented player.
He praised Daniels, saying he can win in various ways, whether it’s with his arm or legs. Sirianni noted how calm and collected Daniels is, especially in high-pressure situations. It’s clear he respects the young quarterback’s skills.
But Sirianni isn’t worried about his own guy either. He feels the same way about Jalen Hurts, saying he’s just as cool under pressure. It’s going to be an exciting game, and both teams are ready to show what they’ve got!
