'I lost us that game': Nick Sirianni makes decision that opened door to a Jacksonville Jaguars comeback win
NFL head coaches often take responsibility for not helping their team, but usually when they seek the blame for losing, they are often covering for someone else's mistake.
Then we have Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.
He took the blame for the Eagles' walk-off field goal loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday because, well, it was indeed ultimately on him.
Why? Because the Eagles blew the game in London by not kicking the ball into the end zone while clinging to a 17-16 lead with only eight seconds to play.

The runback took seven seconds.
And with one second remaining left, Cam Little, who has a kicking leg like a howitzer, connected on a game-winning 57-yard field goal.
That left the Eagles with their third loss of the season.
And Sirianni with mushy peas on his face.
"I lost us that game and that's what I said to our guys," Sirianni admitted in his post-game news conference.
"What hurt there is that the guys fought so hard, and I don’t make the decision that I should make at the end of the game and I cost us that game, and I put that fully on me." Sirianni was not in the mood to accept other reasons the Eagles lost.
"At the end of the day, I didn’t make the right decision, and it cost us the game," he said.
"You know, and so there’s no other way around it.
There’s nothing really else to say about that.
