Why the Eagles have been so dominant
The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just beat the Tennessee Titans. They dominated them. The Eagles didn’t just beat the New York Giants. They demolished them. This team is clicking on all cylinders and is becoming the most dominant team in the NFL. The answer is clear as to why they’ve been so good.
The players have bought into what Nick Sirianni is preaching.
Sirianni was very upfront with his players and told them the role they are going to have on the team. No player has come out and complained about playing time or not getting enough snaps, they have all accepted their roles and have excelled in them.
Getting a whole team to buy into what you’re preaching as a head coach isn’t easy, but Sirianni found a way. The locker room is as close and connected as we’ve ever seen. The players aren’t playing for themselves or for accolades, they’re playing for the team.
When asked about what means more to him, the 10 touchdowns are 1,000 yards, Sanders responded with “Super Bowl”.
All the players have their eyes set on the ultimate goal. They do not care about personal stats or personal records, they just want to win.
These last two weeks the Eagles have dominated their opponents. The games weren’t even close, beating the Titans 35-10 and then dismantling the Giants 48-22. There are obviously X’s and O’s as to why they dominated, the offensive line play, the defense line, and Jalen Hurts, but the biggest reason is this team is playing together.
Players are feeding off Sirianni’s energy and are playing for something bigger than themselves.
There are a lot of reasons the Eagles have been so good and dominant this year. Players have stepped up and developed and have pushed this team to an NFC powerhouse. But the main reason for the success is the Eagles have bought into their coach. It’s clear and obvious, the players are listening to what Sirianni is preaching.
