Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is using the pain of losing the Super Bowl two seasons ago to the Kansas City Chiefs as motivation this week as he prepares his team for Sunday's rematch.
The Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 in the Super Bowl in February 2023 and Sirianni say his team, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, probably wouldn't be here without the pain of that defeat.
"Adversity does something to you. If you embrace adversity it can shape you to who you are," Sirianni said. "Obviously that's been the case with Jalen and through his career. This game is not easy. This game has it's ups and downs.
"Nobody in the NFL pitches a perfect game. That doesn't exist in the NFL. You're going to have bad plays. You're going to have good plays. It's about focusing on the next.
"Going back to the 2023 season, we're grateful for that. We're thankful for that. As bad as it [stunk], I'm grateful for that."
