That Eagles Week 1 win over Washington felt sluggish, for sure, but they snagged the 1-0 start. And that puts head coach Nick Sirianni’s September record at a wild 14-4 in his sixth season. Seriously, what a start to his coaching career for the first month of the season!
Sirianni’s Insane September Dominance
That 14-4 September mark gives Sirianni the third-best winning percentage all-time for the month, minimum 15 games played. It’s an absolutely bonkers stat. Only coaching legends George Allen, sitting at 26-4, and Potsy Clark, with a 15-4-3 record, are ahead of him. Sirianni can hit 15-4 with a huge win this Sunday when the Eagles head to Tennessee.
Hurts Chasing History, But Chicago Lurks
On top of that, if Jalen Hurts throws three touchdown passes against Tennessee, he’ll be the first quarterback in franchise history to hit three or more TDs in the first two games of a season. Talk about an early season milestone! But it won’t be easy to keep this September run going, though. The Eagles wrap up the month with a Monday night visit to Chicago, a rematch of last year’s brutal Black Friday drubbing by the Bears. That game is going to be spicy.
This Sunday in Tennessee is massive, not just for Sirianni chasing 15-4 in September, but for Hurts chasing that piece of franchise history. What a start to the season for the Birds if they can pull it off!
