Coach Nick Sirianni: Media Can Make Noise, But the Eagles Stand United , Success Speaks for Itself!

PHILADELPHIA – Every NFL season, it seems like the national media always views the Philadelphia Eagles through a different lens—sometimes with skepticism, sometimes with harsh stereotypes, especially regarding the most passionate fanbase in the league.

Eagles fans are often labeled as “loud, unruly” based on a handful of stories from the past, like the infamous snowball incident with Santa Claus in 1968 or a few exaggerated headlines about rowdy behavior. Meanwhile, while big-market teams like New York and Los Angeles are showered with positive press, the Eagles are too often linked to drama or internal scandals instead of being celebrated for their on-field success.

Most recently, even Super Bowl hero and franchise leader Jalen Hurts has found himself dragged into ranking debates and hot takes on national television. Despite an MVP-caliber season, Hurts is frequently placed lower than deserved on “Top 10” or “Top 5” quarterback lists, sparking controversy and viral debate—not to highlight his skills, but simply for clickbait and views. These debates rarely give him or the Eagles proper credit for their growth and achievements, serving only to stir up drama and conversation around Philly.

Facing all this noise and constant skepticism, head coach Nick Sirianni stepped up to defend his players, his quarterback, and the entire Midnight Green community with a message that instantly resonated:

“The media is a double-edged sword. Talent and success always come with rumors and noise. We don’t need to explain ourselves—let our results speak for us!”

Sirianni knows that, for the Eagles—and especially for Jalen Hurts—media pressure isn’t just a challenge, it’s a motivator. The recent trends in sports media might be about drama, but in Philly, the only thing that matters is hard work, dedication, and winning on Sundays.

Time and again, the Eagles have silenced their doubters—not through media hype, but through pure grit, resilience, and the unwavering support of their fanbase. The success of Jalen Hurts, the rise of this young roster, and the electric energy at Lincoln Financial Field all prove that Philly pride runs deeper than any headline.

So for the Eagles and the entire Midnight Green community, media storms are just fuel for the fire as they keep fighting and chasing glory. Like Sirianni said—success will always speak for itself!
