Sirianni Says Lurie Still Fully Supports Eagles
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni says he continues to feel complete support from Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie amid a six-game losing streak.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Football
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said he continues to feel complete support from Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie after the team dropped to 2-6 with a 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. The loss extended Philadelphia's losing streak to six games, its longest since 2012.
Why it matters
The Eagles, who made the playoffs in each of Sirianni's first five seasons and reached the Super Bowl twice, now enter this week's home game against the New York Giants last in the NFC East. The public show of ownership backing comes as the team's offense and defense both rank near the bottom of the league.
The Eagles have lost six straight games, and the offense ranks 30th in points per game at 17.1 while the defense ranks 27th in efficiency at 42.51. Sirianni's career winning percentage entering the year was .694.

The details
Sirianni addressed reporters Wednesday and said he continues to feel complete support from Lurie.

This week: Eagles host the New York Giants
Season Trajectory
The six-game losing streak is the franchise's longest since the 2012 season, when the Eagles dropped eight straight games in Andy Reid's final year. The team's current slide threatens its run of playoff appearances in each of Sirianni's first five seasons.
A loss to the Giants would drop Philadelphia further in the NFC East standings and extend the six-game skid to seven. Fantasy managers rostering Eagles players should monitor Hurts's status following his blood clot diagnosis.
The takeaway
Ownership support can steady a coach through a slump, but the Eagles' offensive and defensive rankings suggest the team must improve on the field quickly to keep its playoff streak alive.
What happens next
The Eagles host the New York Giants this week in a home game that will test the team's ability to snap its losing streak.
