PHILADELPHIA (WIP Sports Radio) — Eagles coach Nick Sirianni says there is an image of cornerback Darius Slay celebrating a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday that he wants to put everywhere.
"There's a picture from that celebration, from all the guys kind of crowded around Slay, and Slay is standing up on top, and the fans, over the top of the Eagles Autism area. That picture is going in my house," Sirianni said.
"I texted the guys on our group text with all of the coaches. I'm like, 'I want this picture in our building. This is unbelievable. Look at these fans going crazy. Look at our players going crazy. That's the home field advantage we need.' And so I really wanted to talk about that, because I love that picture and that will be in my workout room in my house."
The 30-year-old Eagles Pro Bowl corner has been incredible over the last four games, scoring three touchdowns.
"Slay is just obviously a really, instinctive player," Sirianni said on Monday. "He can break great on the football. He trusts his speed. He's just showing the ability. When he gets the ball in his hands, he's gonna make a big play. I gotta get him on offense a little bit, and maybe get him a couple of touches."

Slay did suffer an injury in Sunday's win and is in the concussion protocol. Eagles running back Jordan Howard was also injured, and he will be evaluated by his medical staff. Sirianni says he will have more information later in the day.
The 5-6 Eagles have won three of their last four and face the New York Giants on the road Sunday at 1 p.m.
