Going into the Week 17 matchup, Philadelphia already secured a top four finish in the NFC standings. They locked up the NFC East crown for the second consecutive year, settling themselves as a fierce contender this season. However, they have ups and downs on offense as the game against Buffalo showed that once again, seeing Philadelphia only produce 13 total points.
Sirianni reflected on the win after the game, per reporter Ralph Vacchiano. He decided to look on the bright side of the win despite the issues he saw throughout the course of the matchup.
"You got to give yourself points when you win. When you win football games, there's always things to clean up when you come out of a football game. But if you come out of a football game where you win on the road in a hostile environment, man, they got really good fans, against a really good football team that's had the sustained success that we have," Sirianni said.
"If you come out of this and you're just thinking about all the negative things that happen, that makes for a miserable existence. We'll get there. We'll get to what we need to clean up. And you know, really good first half by the offense, not a great second half, and a lot of different reasons why. Winning is hard in this league, and I'm always gonna enjoy a win, and then I'm gonna be really hyper critical on myself first and foremost, and then, and then the rest of the guys after that, and the coaches. So, yeah, you feel great."

They have a firm lead over the Dallas Cowboys , Washington Commanders and New York Giants . In terms of the NFC standings, they sit at third place.
