The Philadelphia Eagles failed to score a single point through three quarters of play against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. They had a couple of chances to put points on the board, but Nick Sirianni chose to bypass those chances.

Say what you want about him and his team, but Sirianni stands on his own two feet. The problem is, Jeffrey Lurie tends not to reward that quality in a head coach.

Nick Sirianni doesn't regret the decision to kick a field goal instead of going for it to win the game late in the Philadelphia Eagles' loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night

Sirianni said he was “even more convicted” about the decision after the game. He was confident their defense could stop Atlanta’s offense from scoring a touchdown because they only gave up 15 points in the first 58 minutes, made a few stops in the red zone and slowed down Kirk Cousins.

Head coach Nick Sirianni and the Eagles put themselves in a position similar to the Week 1 win over Green Bay as the final minutes played out against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday. Sirianni already knew what he was going to do based on an analytics study he led the team through entering the season.

Sirianni’s conservative decision-making may be what turns up the heat on him the most. Why not be aggressive-minded and go for it on fourth down?

After sleeping on some controversial coaching decisions that wound up backfiring, Sirianni says he wouldn't change a thing.
