PHILADELPHIA -- Coach Nick Sirianni channeled Kobe Bryant before the Philadelphia Eagles' game against Carson Wentz and the Washington Commanders on Sunday, and the results on the field reflected his Mamba mentality -- right down to the final score.
Sirianni already had planned to tell a story about competitiveness to his players during their team meeting Saturday night. But as he was scrolling through his phone during the bus ride to Washington, a clip from Netflix's upcoming "Redeem Team" documentary about the 2008 United States Olympic men's basketball team popped up on his screen.
