Eagles HC offers strange reason for late turnover vs. Seahawks

The Philadelphia Eagles are two days removed from a brutal loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but much of the focus is still on a controversial decision on what would be the game's final play. 

Trailing by a field goal, 20-17, with seconds to go, quarterback Jalen Hurts threw an interception into double-coverage, essentially giving the game away. On Wednesday, head coach Nick Sirianni offered a curious response when asked to explain the team and QB's thought process. 

"At times, we've seen you can get a pass interference there," Sirianni told reporters via the Eagles. 

The Eagles had the ball at their own 44-yard line with two timeouts in their pocket. However, they opted for an all-or-nothing type of play that safety Julian Love sniffed out. 

Replays show the pass didn't have much chance of success, but Sirianni dug in, perhaps trying to protect his QB. 

"We have some of the best receivers in the NFL outside, so there are times where you're going to do that," Sirianni said. "We felt like in that situation, we had an opportunity to. Hey, it didn't work out that particular time."
