Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni might receive a fine from the NFL for his behavior on the sideline this Monday night.
During the second quarter of the Week 3 finale, Chicago Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson leveled Hurts as he was trying to get out of bounds. Although he was flagged on the play, it was wiped out due to offsetting penalties.
Hurts, meanwhile, had to be evaluated for a concussion after taking this hit from Jackson. As you’d imagine, Sirianni wasn’t thrilled about his quarterback getting leveled near the sideline.
Sirianni was caught yelling an offensive word towards the other side of the field. Everyone is convinced his words were directed towards Jackson.

“Nick Sirianni calling a Bears player a P—- on live television. Wild,” former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert said.
“Is Nick Sirianni calling the ref or the defender the p word?” Shaun Morash of WFAN said.
“Sirianni is a clown for that,” one fan said.
“Sirianni is the biggest complainer ever,” another fan wrote. “It was a clean hit.”
Costly sequence for the Eagles.
Since the Eagles were without Hurts for a few plays, Andy Dalton had to fill in during a trip to the red zone. After they ran the ball a few times, Dalton was forced to make a play on third-and-goal. His pass was intercepted by Bears safety Dillon Thieneman.
If the Eagles end up losing by one possession, they may revisit that wild goal-line sequence.
The Eagles are hoping to improve to 3-0 this season.
