HC Nick Sirianni Slams Officials for Missing “Brazen Push-Off” by Davante Adams in Win Over Rams

Philadelphia, PA — September 22, 2025 — The Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams was quickly clouded by controversy after head coach Nick Sirianni slammed the officiating crew for missing what he called an obvious offensive pass interference on Rams wide receiver Davante Adams during a pivotal touchdown.

A slow-motion replay circulating on social media appears to show Adams fully extending his arm to push off Eagles safety Reed Blankenship, creating the separation needed for a 44-yard touchdown from Matthew Stafford in the first half. The score gave the Rams a 10–7 lead and swung momentum, though the Eagles ultimately rallied for the win. Fans and analysts labeled it a “brazen push-off,” arguing a flag should have been thrown.

Sirianni didn’t mince words at the postgame podium. “Everyone in the stadium saw it — Davante clearly pushed off on that play. For the officials to swallow the whistle in that moment is unacceptable. Even though we won convincingly, we cannot overlook such a controversial play like that. Games shouldn’t be decided by missed calls,” he said, echoing the sentiment from inside the Eagles’ locker room.

The NFL has not yet issued a statement. If the play is reviewed, it could reignite league-wide debate over the consistency of pass interference calls. Adams—acquired by the Rams ahead of the 2025 season—declined to address the incident directly, keeping the focus on his team’s performance.

For the Eagles, the episode marks another chapter in the broader scrutiny of NFL officiating, especially in high-leverage moments that can tilt outcomes. Philadelphia leaves Week 3 with momentum but faces a challenging stretch as the NFC East race intensifies.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
