In a recent game against the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni claimed he made a defensive call that didn't work, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio clarified that Sirianni did not actually call any defensive plays. Fangio explained that Sirianni merely alerted him to a potential situation without making a formal call.

Sirianni's comments seem to be part of a strategy to shield his coaches and players from criticism. He acknowledged the importance of accountability but his approach has raised eyebrows, especially regarding a critical play involving quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley.
