Legendary NFL announcer: Eagles got away with a call that wouldn’t be allowed on the field

Legendary NBC analyst Chris Collinsworth has a problem with NFL rules and doesn’t like coaching changes.

At the end of the third quarter EaglesIn the “Sunday Night Football” game against the Rams, Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni could have reversed his decision on how to respond to a Los Angeles penalty that was an offensive holding.

The new decision was made after Rams coach Sean McVay assessed a Philadelphia 14 fourth-and-3 penalty. When Sirianni saw the offense on the field – and not the team shooting from the field – he changed his mind. take a penalty and make a third-and-13 from the Philadelphia 24.

“I just don’t think you should be able to do it,” Collinsworth said during the broadcast from SoFi Stadium. “In my opinion it was clear: they gave up a penalty, they went out and then look, they are going to do it; I’ll change my mind now. You don’t understand both sides of the coin. Yes, maybe that’s what they’re doing. I’m just saying that if you’re playing on a playground somewhere, you say, “No, no, no.” You have already declared. You have to stick to it.”

Ultimately, this forced the Rams to attempt a 47-yard field goal attempt, which failed to keep the score at 27-14, rather than possibly convert or miss on a short fourth down.

The Eagles then marched 55 yards down the field in 12 plays in 6:02 and extended the lead to 30-14 on a field goal.

Did it really matter in the end? Not entirely because the Eagles won 37-20 and improved their record to 9-2. And did Sirianni do anything wrong? According to officials on the field, no. Collinsworth, however, is not a fan of a coach informing referees of his decision and then changing it once he sees what his opponent is or isn’t doing.
