Unexpected things are happening this season in the NFL and the underdogs are coming out. First, it was PJ Walker of the Browns against the 49ers, and now; it is Zach Wilson and Co.’s time to turn some heads around. The Eagles’ defeat sure has put some stars on the Jets’ jersey. A lot of it might have to do with Philadelphia’s offense or maybe Jason Kelce’s worst fears have come true. Eagles’ HC Nick Sirianni comes forth to clear the air.
After plucking the Eagles’ feathers, the Jets have finally reached a 3-3 equilibrium. But just like the 49ers, the Eagles botched up in their own ways. What’s surprising is that the Eagles had control over the game for the most part. Nick Sirianni reflects on the match and takes to the media.

The Philly coach Nick Sirianni tries to explain the 4 turnovers that the Eagles had in the game. “How Do You Explain 4 Turnovers?” a correspondent asks Sirianni. He kept the explanation short. Sirianni mentions that the ‘ball bounces in weird ways’ adding to it that Quinnen Williams was at the right place at the right time. Adding to it was a quarterback hit due to which Hurts couldn’t complete the pass.
Sirianni says that the defense did a nice job as the Eagles had the lead till the last leg of the game. He mentions how the defense helped them with field goals, but like Kelce, the whole team is upset about their reliance on the FGs. The coach says that he and the team are upset about it and the topic constantly comes up in their conversation. The Eagles went through the exact same thing last year when a 4 turnover game ended their win streak. Sirianni will now focus on putting the players in positions where the team is vulnerable to turning the ball over, adding this change to the training regimen.
“We’re gonna go back and we’re gonna look at why those turnovers happened and do our best to eliminate them”, said the Coach. Even Jason Kelce is getting candid about the whole situation.
The problem with the Eagles’ offense
In a recent New Heights episode, the Eagles superstar Jason Kelce went on air and spoke to his brother about how the team is struggling to enter the enemy lines. These constant mistakes turned out to be the reason why Jason Kelce was infuriated and seen visibly upset in a recent game. Kelce mentioned that his love for his team and his teammates was the reason for this outburst.

Kelce mentions that this inability to get to the red zone is not a good thing and that they always had to rely on Jake Elliott to finish the game off. Although Elliott helped the Eagles win 5 games in a row, Kelce wanted the team to improve and get the offense right. Recently, Ryan Clark gave some advice to Zach Wilson ahead of this game. His advice for Zach Wilson was for him to stay concentrated, while Quincy Williams and Breece Hall helped him out.

He also advised the Jets to put pressure on Jalen Hurts, which they did. Finally, there is an Eagles game where they didn’t talk a lot about the brotherly shove. The Eagles still stand tall in the NFC East.
