Exclusive : Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox continue to support Nick Sirianni despite the Eagles’ downfall, “AFFIRMING” his status as a successful coach.
The Philadelphia free-fall has brought into question the future of head coach Nick Sirianni, along with the playing futures of longtime Eagles stalwarts Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce. The Philly veterans spoke to reporters on Wednesday to wrap up the season — and Cox offered an impassioned defense of Sirianni, despite the Eagles’ tough end to the 2023 campaign.
Cox, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who has spent his entire career with the Eagles, pointed out Wednesday that it would be strange for the franchise to fire a head coach who has won 10 or more games in consecutive seasons — with an NFC championship to boot. Cox claimed to be unaware of the speculation surrounding Sirianni’s future and dismissed it out of hand — even though the veteran defensive tackle is a free agent this spring and may not return to Philly.
“Come on, man. He’s the head football coach of this team, man,” Cox said. “There (isn’t) even (any) f*****g discussion about that. I don’t (have) anything to say about that. You’re a clown, bro. Get out of my face.”
Kelce was more measured if not diplomatic in his response to the mounting speculation around Sirianni. The 36-year-old All-Pro center might not be playing under Sirianni next year, either — Kelce is set to retire, pending an official announcement — but he made it clear just how much he appreciates the coach, who has a 36-20 record (including the playoffs) since replacing Doug Pederson in 2021.
“I love Nick, I think he’s a great head coach,” Kelce said. “Obviously, nobody was good enough this year. I wasn’t, none of the players, none of the coaches were good enough down the stretch. … But I’ll always have faith in Nick Sirianni.”
In spite of the noise surrounding him, Sirianni is in position to ride out the turbulence and keep his job entering next season — although everything is pending a meeting with team owner Jeffrey Lurie in the coming days.
Lurie will have the final say on Sirianni’s future in Philadelphia and could yet dismiss the 42-year-old if he is not satisfied with the coach’s plan to improve the Eagles. Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman are reportedly canvassing the NFL to overhaul the coaching staff, and changes are expected to be made to Philly’s defense — only two teams allowed more points than the Eagles did in 2023, while the possible departures of Cox and Kelce will create gaps on both lines that wil need to be plugged.

Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson Called Out by Fans After Terribly Insensitive Comment After 28-25 Win Over Cowboys
The Baltimore Ravens finally earned their first victory of the 2024 NFL regular season, defeating the Dallas Cowboys 28-25 on Sunday afternoon. Despite a late rally by Dallas, Baltimore’s ground game was too much to overcome. As a team, they rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns. Derrick Henry had 25 carries for 151 of those yards and two scores.
Lamar Jackson was the other star on offense, rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens quarterback also completed 12 of 15 passes for 182 yards, a touchdown, no interceptions, and a 139.4 passer rating.
It was what Jackson said after the game, though, that was generating a buzz on social media.

Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson Made an Insensitive Comment in His Postgame Interview
During his postgame interview, Jackson was asked about how badly the Ravens needed to win the game. As mentioned, it was their first win of the season, and they improved to 1-2 on the year.
“We needed it bad. I believe some people was on suicide watch,” Jackson replied.
Whether he was talking about some of the Ravens’ players or their fans is not clear. However, fans on social media were not too thrilled with his choice of words.
NFL Fans React to Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson Saying People Were on Suicide Watch
While there undoubtedly are people not bothered by Jackson remarks, and some who are upset that others took exception to it, the fact of the matter is that there were many fans that did not appreciate his making light of such a sensitive topic.
Obviously, it remains to be seen if the NFL will levy any fine for the comment.
While many may not see it as a big deal, the rhetoric Jackson chose to use makes light of a very serious issue for many.
Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Jordan Love lost his father, a police officer, to suicide as a result of mental health struggles. He now works closely with families of soldiers and law enforcement who have, unfortunately, had similar experiences.

Chiefs continue perfect start to season after Taylor Swift no show as Rashee Rice inspires 22-17 win over Falcons in Atlanta – but Travis Kelce suffers ANOTHER off-night
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs survived their first road test of the season on Sunday night as they beat the Falcons 22-17.
Mahomes made it his third straight game with an interception to open the season but Rashee Rice’s 110 receiving yards and a touchdown propelled his team to a 3-0 start.
The Falcons got the ball back with 2:26 remaining in the game but couldn’t find a go-ahead score in front of their home fans.
Bijan Robinson was stopped on a 4th-and-inches deep in Kansas City territory with less than a minute left and Kansas City was then able to kneel the clock out.
‘It was a team effort, that’s how this season’s been,’ Mahomes said after the game. ‘We’ve been in these moments before.’
It was another quiet night for Travis Kelce as the tight end had just four catches for 30 yards.
The performance came without girlfriend Taylor Swift in the stands after she had attended the Chiefs’ first two games of the season.
