Nick Sirianni Absolutely Launching a Challenge Flag Had NFL Fans Cracking Up

Nick Sirianni NFL Eagles Jalen Hurts Patrick Mahomes

The Eagles won their Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs on Sunday, marking the first time in Patrick Mahomes’s career that the young GOAT has lost three straight games.

Despite the fact that Mahomes and Jalen Hurts are two of the best quarterbacks in the game, it’s possible the best throw of the game came from Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, who decided to absolutely launch his challenge flag when he disagreed with a call on the field.

Philadelphia lined up for a tush push on third-and-goal in the fourth quarter, and appeared to be stuffed. The refs called the team short on the field, but before the Eagles lined up for a second tush push, Sirianni ran down the sideline and fired a rocket of a challenge.

Fans online had plenty of jokes about Sirianni’s enthusiastic throw. Here’s a sampling:

Despite the extra mustard Sirianni put on his throw, the challenge failed, and the call on the field was upheld. On the next play, the Eagles ran another tush push, which resulted in a touchdown.
