In what's been a (fantastically) boring Super Bowl so far, there's been really one moment that'll get replayed in Philly bars all over the city for the next 10 years: Cooper DeJean's pick-six.

DeJean – the Eagles' rookie corner who's also, you may have heard, playing in the Super Bowl on his birthday – picked off Mahomes midway through the second quarter of Super Bowl 59, the first of two interceptions the Eagles' defense had in the first half.

And [30 for 30 voice] what if I told you that the Nick Sirianni reacted exactly the same way that you and all your Eagles friends did? Like, almost worryingly so. One of the NFL's 10,000 different on-field cameras picked up Sirianni's reaction throughout the entire pick six, and it's the type of video that'll go down so smooth paired with a glass of celebratory champagne. Or, you know, six.

On one hand, that's kind of exactly what I expect from Nick Sirianni at this point. No one ever has, or ever will, accuse him of being too stoic. Quite frankly, it'd be weird if he didn't react that way, given how this season has gone. Casual Super Bowl watches may be new to the Sirianni experience, but anyone who's watched the Eagles at any point during this season knows this is pretty standard, par-for-the-course behavior.

On the other hand, it's still kinda wild. He certainly is one of one. I can't really blame him for getting caught up in the moment – is is the Super Bowl, after all. It's nice that Philly can relate so deeply to their head football coach. Maybe he'll climb a street lamp after the game too!
