Nick Sirianni Turns to Jimmy Johnson for Repeat Blueprint Before Eagles–Chiefs Rematch

Sirianni is stressing tougher standards after seeking guidance on repeating as champion.

Overview

  • FOX NFL's Jay Glazer reported Sunday that Sirianni called Johnson about three weeks ago to discuss handling a title defense.
  • Johnson advised avoiding complacency by getting tougher on assistants so they, in turn, push players, according to Glazer.
  • Sirianni told Glazer he has taken the message to heart and is staying "super connected" to coaches and players.
  • Repeating as Super Bowl winners has been rare in the modern era, with nine teams doing it and only one organization accomplishing it in the past 20 years.
  • With Dallas Goedert and Ben VanSumeren out, Philadelphia elevated Marcus Epps and Cameron Latu from the practice squad and placed tackle Cameron Williams on injured reserve, per reports.
