The Philadelphia Eagles coach couldn't hold his emotions in. 

The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 3-0 on the season after beating the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 3. 

The Eagles were down 26-7 to the Rams. They scored 26 unanswered points to win, becoming the fourth team since 2000 to win after trailing by 19 points in the first half of the third quarter.

During the postgame locker room, Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni got emotional with his players. He revealed on Monday why that was the case. 

“I got emotional yesterday in the locker room with just the handling adversity," Sirianni said. "I thought that our guys did a really good job of dealing with adversity throughout the game and just kept getting up. I think that was definitely one topic where I was a little bit emotional yesterday because these guys are going to have to. It's not just a football thing where you're hoping that you're helping guys become better men as well, with the stuff that you can learn through football: being tough, being detailed, being together. They just kept getting up. There’s so many outside things that can sway our thinking, I think too, that we don't want to live like that in a football building, right? We want to be committed to our process. We know that it's not going to be immediate results. We want to be team-oriented, because being team-oriented, when I say that isn't just good for the team, it's good individually too. For everybody.

"In this sport, you need your teammates to make the plays that you want to make as an individual. Those are two things we've talked a lot about. I felt like A.J. (Brown) really handled himself with a lot of maturity. I listened to the thing yesterday and what I think he's trying to say in that manner is, we talk a lot about being on the attack on offense, and not really worried about what they do on defense because what we've been seeing as a good offense has been a lot of different stuff that you might not be even be able to prepare for.

"That’s how I kind of took what he said yesterday also. But I think he's done such a good job, because I’m not sure he's gone through the last two weeks without answering those questions every day. You love when someone's able to answer the bell after going through ups and downs. That’s why I said what I said earlier, as far as being able to handle the dog mentality of getting through the downs and picking yourself back up. I kind of correlate what A.J. had to go through too in that same category. That's just always something that hits close to home for me is handling adversity, for many different reasons that I won't get in here today. But that core value always means a lot to me. That toughness, particularly that mental toughness core value really means a lot to me. I think that's probably where you saw my emotions on that yesterday."

The Eagles are the first team since 2000 to block two field-goal tries in a fourth quarter when those kicks would have taken the lead or extended one. Even though Philadelphia's offense hasn't looked great all the time this season, the team is still 3-0. 

The Eagles will look to improve to 4-0 on the season when they take on the 3-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Philadelphia lost to Tampa Bay in the Wild Card round in 2023 by a final score of 32-9.
