From the first moment of Super Bowl LIX, it was clear that the Philadelphia Eagles were in full control.
They jumped out to an early lead, and when the two teams left the field at halftime, the Eagles led 24-0. However, it was still possible for the Chiefs to pull off the comeback.
Yet, as the Eagles' lead continued to grow in the third quarter, there was one moment between head coach Nick Sirianni and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore that went viral.
With just a three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sent a 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith, giving the Eagles a 34-0 lead.
So, how did that play come about?
Right before the play, it was actually Sirianni who was convincing Moore to go with the gutsy call.
"If we score, it's over. Just call it," Sirianni said to Moore.
And the rest is history.
It not only showed Sirianni's faith in his play caller, but it also showed his confidence in the players.
After the game, Sirianni had another iconic moment regarding Moore.
It was well known leading up to Super Bowl LIX that Moore was expected to accept the New Orleans Saints head coach position, "barring any unexpected developments."
However, Sirianni made one final plea to his assistant coach, hoping he can convince him to stick around for a bit longer.
Let's run this sh** back, Kellen," Sirianni said after the win.
While it didn't work and Moore took the job with the Saints, it was a good attempt by Sirianni.
