Nick Sirianni emphatically told fans 'That [expletive] was for Frank Reich' after the Eagles beat the Colts
The Eagles were once the last undefeated team in the NFL, but over the last couple weeks they haven’t looked too great.
Their game against the Colts on Sunday was certainly a struggle. It was the first real controversy the team has overcome this season. They were down by 13 points in the 4th quarter with the offense sputtering. Then Jalen Hurts did Jalen Hurts things and they wound up winning 17-16.
The win had Nick Sirianni completely fired up. He bounced up and down the sidelines celebrating with Eagles fans and talking to Colts fans. This win clearly meant a lot to him.
The reason why is obvious. It was a win for Frank Reich, who the Colts fired a few weeks ago before bringing in Jeff Saturday. Sirianni coached under Reich in Indianapolis before coming to the Eagles.
That’s exactly what he told Colts fans.

That checks out. Sirianni absolutely loves Frank Reich. He said as much after the game.
Nick Sirianni was visibly emotional after this game.
"I'm emotional because I love Frank Reich," Nick Sirianni said. "He's one of the best damn football coaches I've ever been around. I was hoping he and I would be able to coach against each other in this game."

That’s where all that emotion is coming from.
