Philly Leader

In Nick Sirianni's tenure as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, the team has achieved a commendable record of 22 wins and 9 losses on the road. This achievement places them alongside Kansas City, which holds a similar road record of 22-8 during the same period.

Sirianni attributes this success to several factors, including thorough preparation and maintaining calmness in situational football. "You want to be calm in situational football," Sirianni explained during his weekly press conference. He emphasized that handling noise and exhibiting mental toughness are critical components when playing away games.

The coach highlighted the support from traveling Eagles fans, noting their presence at games across various stadiums. The upcoming game against the Rams at SoFi Stadium is expected to see similar fan turnout. Last season, Eagles fans significantly contributed to diminishing Los Angeles' home-field advantage when Philadelphia secured a victory there.

Beyond fan support, Sirianni stresses that each game is approached with equal importance. This mindset helps players focus on overcoming obstacles presented by opposing stadiums and aim solely for victory. Right tackle Lane Johnson echoed this sentiment: "You go in there as a team and it's you against the world and we like that feeling."

The team's consistent performance is also attributed to values instilled from day one of their offseason program. The Eagles prioritize connecting with each other and building trust among players and coaches throughout preseason preparations.

As they prepare for their prime-time match in Los Angeles, Sirianni remains focused on continuing their successful approach: "That's just another opportunity to lock arms, and go at it together, and try to battle all game and win."
