NASHVILLE — Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni wants his players to remember just how hard winning in the NFL really is and take a moment to enjoy each victory.
“It’s so important that joy comes after every time,” Sirianni said. “I already know how I’m going to feel if we lose. That is a feeling that’s hard to get over. You better appreciate the things and know how hard it is and appreciate those things after a win.”
The Eagles have won a lot with Sirianni, reaching the playoffs in each of his first five seasons, advancing to a pair of Super Bowls and winning one Lombardi Trophy.
They just opened his sixth season with a 24-22 win over the Washington Commanders — one of their rivals in the NFC East Division — and it was a game that might not garner any style points. Still, the Eagles improved to 6-0 in openers with Sirianni.
Now they visit the struggling Tennessee Titans (0-1) on Sunday at Nissan Stadium to kick off a two-game road swing. Oh yeah, the Eagles also have the NFL’s best road winning percentage at .698 (30-13) since 2021, and they’re 10-3 in that span against AFC teams.
