Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni has had a spectacular first four seasons with the Eagles. He has 52 combined regular season and postseason wins through his first four years. That is the most in the National Football League over the last 30 years. He stands atop a list that includes Matt LaFleur and John and Jim Harbaugh.
Sirianni has a career record of 52-23 with the Philadelphia Eagles including four consecutive trips to the NFL Playoffs. He also helped guide Philadelphia to the NFL Playoffs two seasons ago. Will Sirianni be able to win the NFC Championship Game and book his second trip to the Super Bowl in the last four years?

Philadelphia has defeated the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams in the postseason. The Eagles have won their two playoff games without much help from their passing game. They are at the bottom of the playoff field with a measly 93 net passing yards per game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been average with 259 passing yards and 3 total touchdowns. Philadelphia’s net passing yards are so low in the NFL Playoffs due to Hurts being sacked nine times. He was sacked 7 times for 63 in the win against the Rams.
Philadelphia, as was the case during the regular season, has been led by its running game. They are second in the playoffs with 227 yards per game on the ground. Running Back Saquon Barkley has been exemplary during the first two playoff games. He had a historic performance on Sunday against the Rams. His 205 rushing yards were the fifth-most in postseason history. Barkley needs 148 rushing yards over the remainder of the playoff run for the most rushing yards in regular season and postseason history.
Final Thoughts
Sirianni and the Philadelphia Eagles are one game away from the Super Bowl. The red-hot Washington Commanders come to town on Sunday with the winner the NFC champion. Sirianni is much-maligned and not held in the same esteem as his fellow NFL coaches with far less success.
His press conferences and sideline antics are not conventional, but his results speak for themselves. He is looking for a win on Sunday to continue building one of the best four-year stretches for a head coach in league history.
