NFL Fans Loved Nick Sirianni’s Classy Postgame Gesture to Bills After Eagles’ Thrilling OT Win

Respect.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was all class after a thrilling overtime win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

In the commotion following Jalen Hurts’ game-winning 12-yard touchdown run, Sirianni couldn’t track down Bills coach Sean McDermott for a customary postgame handshake. To make up for it, Sirianni went into the Bills locker room postgame alongside top Eagles front office executive Howie Roseman to shake hands with McDermott there.

It was a classy gesture after an emotional game that saw the Eagles rally with a 59-yard field goal in the final 20 seconds to force overtime before Hurts’s winning touchdown.

Sirianni’s on-field fire has earned him plenty of fans in Philadelphia, but has also rubbed some opposing fans the wrong way during the Eagles’ remarkable recent run of success. 

But once emotions of the game die down, it’s clear that the Eagles coach has plenty of class. Fans certainly appreciated the gesture.

Love my coach. Class act all around Idc what anyone says about anything he does or how he acts this guy is everything that Philadelphia stands for. https://t.co/DXHKlqPPmA

Respect.

Despite what others say about Sirianni, I really like him. He’s perfect for Philly and a damn good coach.

Wish the Bills brought him home. https://t.co/01vQ5WH7OV

But Sirianni is childish. Why would he do something so respectful https://t.co/a7T2uvLNxA

But he will still be called childish even though this is pretty classy. https://t.co/XF0FRRQykk
