Key Points:
- Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni chose to rest starters during Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Commanders despite having a chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
- Sirianni defended his decision, stating he prioritized the team’s health and believed it was unfair to put starters back in the game just because other teams' results could benefit them.
- He emphasized following a consistent process and making decisions based on what’s best for the team’s long-term success rather than short-term gains.
- The Eagles will face the 49ers next weekend, and Sirianni’s decision to rest starters in Week 18 may be scrutinized if the team underperforms at home.
