Nick Sirianni Explains Decision to Go for Controversial 4th Down in Win vs. Packers

Nick Sirianni put his Eagles in a dangerous spot Monday night when he decided to go for it on fourth-and-6 toward the end of the game against the Packers.

After recovering a Packers fumble on fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter with about 1:26 remaining, the Eagles, leading 10-7, appeared to be on their way to a victory. The Packers had two timeouts, and managed to stop the Eagles on the first three plays of their final series.
