During Monday Night Football on September 27, the Philadelphia Eagles lost 27‑7 to the Chicago Bears in Chicago. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni shouted at Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson after Jackson hit quarterback Jalen Hurts late out of bounds on a second‑and‑four play, drawing an unnecessary‑roughness penalty and forcing Hurts to miss about two minutes while being evaluated for a concussion.

In a clip that circulated online, Sirianni appeared to say “P—y” to Jackson, a remark he later admitted he would like to take back. He said, “I always come away when I have a moment like that with remorse of, ‘Man, I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the best of me,’” according to the New York Post.

Hurts was cleared from concussion protocol and re‑entered the game after the hit. The Eagles’ offense struggled for most of the game, completing 248 total yards and throwing 153 passing yards with one interception. Bears quarterback Case Keenum finished 24‑of‑34 for 247 yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown, leading the Bears to victory.

After the incident, Andy Dalton relieved Hurts and threw an interception on a third‑and‑goal from the 2‑yard line, extending the Bears’ lead. Dalton later apologized to Hurts for the interception, as reported by the Post.

In the aftermath, Sirianni expressed remorse for his words, noting he “didn’t like how I handled that” and that he “has to be more steady in that situation.” The Eagles’ defense had already been under pressure, with Jalen Hurts having been hit earlier in the game and the Bears’ defense forcing a turnover on the final drive.
