Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeff Lurie has spoken out in strong support of head coach Nick Sirianni, praising his 'outstanding' performance that has included two Super Bowl appearances in five seasons, one of which resulted in a championship.

“Incredible leadership. But authenticity is huge in my world and in the players' world. Nobody's perfect. I'm far from it. You guys are far from it. It's about authenticity, leadership, understanding when you should delegate, when you shouldn't delegate, how to lead a team through the ups and downs.”
