NFL Week 5 Coaching Decisions: Eagles’ Nick Sirianni Embracing Heated Moments

Other coaches wouldn’t dare remove their star players from games when emotions get the best of them, but they certainly don’t like to see heated exchanges develop publicly. Sirianni, however, seems to embrace those problem-solving situations with high emotions. He knows when to step in and when to let his players figure it out.

Sirianni kept telling reporters that tight end Dallas Goedert and edge rusher Haason Reddick were close to having breakout games. Both had their best performances of the season against the Rams, with Goedert recording eight catches for 117 yards and a touchdown, and Reddick sacking Matthew Stafford twice to derail the Rams’ hopes of a comeback.

Here are some other commendable game plans and coaching decisions—and some questionable calls—that occurred across the league in Week 5.Pickens had six catches for 130 yards, including a game-winning 41-yard touchdown reception.Philip G. Pavely/USA TODAY SportsI’m not exactly sure who to credit for the play-call leading to Kenny Pickett’s 41-yard rainbow pass to George Pickens that gave the Steelers their first touchdown in nine quarters.

The Ravens had a punt blocked that led to a safety, making the game 10–5 in the fourth quarter, sparking the Steelers’ comeback victory. Earlier in the game, special teams could have helped, but Harbaugh passed on a makable field goal for kicker Justin Tucker and opted for a failed fourth-and-2 from the Steelers’ 23-yard line late in the first half.
