PHILADELPHIA — Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was seen on camera yelling and gesturing toward a group of fans at the end of Sunday's 20-16 home win over the Cleveland Browns as boos rained down for parts of a game in which the offense sputtered at times and the talent-rich Eagles struggled to separate from the now 1-5 Browns.
Sirianni, wearing a wry smile and offering a wink, said he was «just excited to get the win» in explaining his interaction with the fans and praised the crowd for being loud and inducing a couple of Cleveland false-start penalties.
But when asked about the jeering the Eagles received in their home stadium, Sirianni acknowledged they could do without the negativity. «We thrive off the crowd when they cheer for us.
That's all I'll say,» Sirianni said. «We hear them when they boo. We don't necessarily like it. I don't think that's productive for anybody.
