Despite coming off of their bye week, the Philadelphia Eagles came into Week 6 of the season on a low note losing two of their last three games. They were hoping a matchup against a struggling Cleveland Browns team would be just what the doctor ordered.
Nick Sirianni Claps Back at Eagles Fans
The Eagles were struggling early against the Browns. And the boo birds were out early with some fans chanting for Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni to be fired amid another lackluster season. Fortunately for Sirianni, the Eagles came out on top as they snuck away with a 16-20 win over the Browns.
After the win, Siriannin motioned to the same fans that were calling for them to be fired demanding that they keep that same energy.
Nick Sirianni is taunting… his own fan base, after the win? @Eagles fans, how we feel about this? Talk to me!

But even after the win, some Eagles fans remained unimpressed.
"Embarrassing! We beat the 1-5 Browns by 4 points! Let's not victory lap being 3-2!" one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"He is not head coach material and no one will ever convince me otherwise he is taking credit for a win instead of shutting up and giving the credit to his team this guy is the farthest thing from a leader," another user added.
A.J Brown, Devonta Smith Shine in Returns From Injury
The Eagles faithful may not be pleased with their season to this point. But it has been a relatively tough hill for them to climb, to be fair. Early in the season, the Eagles lost both of their star receivers, A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith to injuries and they have struggled to find any offense in their absence.
Both Smith and Brown returned to the field on Sunday and now they are back on the winning track. It hardly seems like a coincidence. The two wide receivers showed out in their return. Brown and Smith combined for 180 yards and two touchdowns in their win over the Browns.
Now that the Eagles have their stars back in the lineup, it will be interesting to see if they can string together some wins as the season inches toward the playoffs.
