Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni pulled quite the head-scratching call on Monday night during a 10–7 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Leading 10–7 with 33 seconds left in the game, Sirianni had the Eagles go for it on fourth down and six at the Green Bay 35-yard line. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a deep ball to wide receiver A.J. Brown in the end zone that went incomplete. While it didn’t change the result of the game, Sirianni came under fire for the decision.
