No matter what happens in the Super Bowl, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni will be remembered for what happened before the game even started.
Social media was abuzz after shots of the second-year Eagles coach caught him with tears running down his cheeks during Chris Stapleton’s rendition of the national anthem. You can see video of it at this link.
His emotional response to the song was something that was discussed pregame, as Sirianni had said that he always listened to the anthem and imagined he was in Super Bowl and that he would probably get emotional when he heard it.
That’s exactly what he did.
Twenty minutes later he was all smiles as the Eagles moved down the field and scored on their first possession.
