Nick Sirianni used the Eagles' win over the Chiefs on Monday as a chance to mock Kansas City fans, but the Philly coach has now offered some kind words towards the team's supporters.

After the Eagles 21-17 win in the Super Bowl LVII rematch, Sirianni repeatedly said 'see ya' to the home fans at Arrowhead Stadium and loudly exclaimed that he didn't 'hear s*** anymore' as he walked off the field.

But speaking on Friday, he was a bit more relaxed as he admitted he gave 'credit' to the Chiefs fans.


'Yeah, you know, emotions run high in games,' Sirianni told reporters. 'I give it to the Kansas City fans. They were rowdy. They had some good things to say coming in at halftime. They had some good things to say when they would score. I don't hear fans all that often. I did in this game. I definitely heard them at halftime.

'I give them credit. They aren't Philly fans. They're not as good as Philly fans, but I definitely heard a couple things they were saying in the game.

Beyond the Eagles' heartbreaking 38-35 loss in last February's Super Bowl, Sirianni has further history with the Chiefs.

As noted by NBC Sports Philadelphia, he was on Kansas City's coaching staff in 2012 before being fired along with the rest of Romeo Crennel's staff. 

However, his team got him some revenge earlier this week as a pair of Jalen Hurts touchdowns in the second half fueled a comeback.

As Sirianni explained himself, don't expect him to keep his emotions in check - regardless of the opponent. 

'To me, with everything that I am, I'm not going to hide who I am,' he said Friday. 

'You know what? I think if you're somebody you're not, that gets seen through by everybody, and so, hey, … I was emotional after the game. That was a little playful back and forth with the Kansas City fans.'

The Eagles face the Bills this weekend, while Kansas City will travel to Las Vegas to play the Raiders.
