Nick Sirianni’s return to Indianapolis in Week 11 ended in triumph on Sunday after the Eagles edged the Colts in a hard-fought 17–16 victory.
The comeback win gave the Eagles (9–1) plenty to celebrate about less than a week removed from their first loss of the season. But for Sirianni, who worked as the Colts’ offensive coordinator from 2018 to ’20, Week 11 was also about exacting a measure of revenge against his old team for the firing of his friend and mentor Frank Reich on Nov. 7.
As the final seconds ticked down on the game clock, an emotional Sirianni darted behind the Eagles bench area to deliver a strong message to the fans before walking off the field.
