GLENDALE, Ariz. — Nick Sirianni held his breath.
With the Cardinals lined up ready to attempt a game-tying field goal, the Eagles coach called a timeout in an attempt to ice Cardinals fill-in kicker Matt Ammendola. Moments earlier, Eagles kicker Cameron Dicker, who was also signed to the practice squad earlier in the week, knocked in the go-ahead score with his 23-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 20-17 advantage.
There Sirianni stood on the visitors sideline with his hands on his knees. The snap was clean, but Prater missed his 43-yard attempt wide right. While the football twirled in the air, Sirianni ditched his headset, and leaped for joy. The second-year coach was mobbed by nearby players and coaches. And for at least another week, the Eagles preserved their perfect record.
