PHILADELPHIA>> Perhaps indignant that Eagles fans had chanted for his firing, Nick Sirianni could not button up his mouth in the final seconds. Philadelphia’s coach — already a habitual trash-talking offender — put a finger to his right ear and chirped at fans in the first rows at the Linc.

Yes, after the Eagles eked out a four-point win against the dysfunctional Browns, Sirianni felt the need to talk smack, providing social media and tabloid fodder about a coach whose job security is up for daily debate and who — even in victory — won’t win any popularity contests in Philadelphia. “Just excited to get the win,” Sirianni said. “Appreciate the Linc support.”

He had to appreciate the Eagles’ offense a bit more.

Jalen Hurts threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 45-yard toss to DeVonta Smith in the fourth quarter, and Philadelphia beat Cleveland 20-16 on Sunday.

Hurts also threw a 22-yard TD to A.J. Brown, who returned along with Smith after both wide receivers missed time with injuries. The Eagles can’t afford to lose either for any more lengthy stretches if they want to make a deep postseason run.

Coming off a bye, the already maddening Eagles (3-2) had to tough one out against the Browns (1-5) in front of a mostly listless crowd. Before Smith’s TD, Eagles fans only showed some fire when they chanted for Sirianni to get fired.
