Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni appeared to yell obscenities in the direction of Chicago Bears linebacker D'Marco Jackson after his hit on quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Jackson hit Hurts as he stepped out of bounds on the sideline, resulting in an unnecessary roughness penalty for a late hit out of bounds. Hurts was forced into the blue medical tent were he was evaluated for a concussion.
Hurts was cleared to return to the field, but not before backup QB Andy Dalton threw a costly interception in the end zone.

After the Eagles' 27-7 loss, Sirianni expressed regret over his emotional outburst.
“You want to always fight for your players and protect your players,” Sirianni said, via ProFootballTalk. “I always come away when I have a moment like that with remorse. ‘Man, I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the best of me.’ Those guys are out there trying to make a play. It was close on the sideline. It ended up being a penalty, obviously you never want to see your quarterback get hit like that.

"But it’s in the heat of the moment, I know nobody is trying to hurt anybody out there, and I always have remorse when I act that way. But I always love fighting for our players. I love our guys. So the emotion of the game probably got the better of me today and I have to learn from that. In that particular moment I have to be more steady in that situation. Be able to move on and go to the next play. I didn’t like how I handled that.”
The Eagles fell to 2-1 on the season with this loss. They'll look to bounce back in their Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this coming Sunday.
