A slim win against the Detroit Lions, and after soundly thrashing the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Commanders, the Eagles stand 3-0. One of 2 teams in the NFL still undefeated, the Miami Dolphins being the other one. And now, Eagles’ Head Coach Nick Sirianni has let slip his secret motivation for the players: a Tiger Woods video clip.

According to NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano, Nick Sirianni’s ‘clip’ is of Tiger Woods in his prime, and in the video, Woods is seen to be saying he is “obsessed with getting better”, at a point when he was already the best in the game.

This is probably what Sirianni wants from the Eagles too. Just because they’ve had a great opening to the season doesn’t mean they can take things easy. Their next game is against the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1). A team that broke the backs of the last two opponents they faced, even beating the Indianapolis Colts 24-0.
