James Bradberry couldn’t hide on the Seahawks’ final drive on Monday night, as the Eagles corner and former Giant got torched for 87 yards during Seattle’s game-winning march down the field, including on Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s go-ahead 29-yard touchdown in a 20-17 victory.
Bradberry didn’t hide after the game either, admitting there was “nothing really” he could have done to stop Smith-Njigba.
“He just ran past me,” Bradberry said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Eagles, with former Bill Belichick sidekick Matt Patricia taking over defensive play-calling from Sean Desai, were clinging to a 17-13 lead with 1:52 left when backup Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock engineered a 10-play, 92-yard drive by picking on Bradberry most of the way.
While critics continue to pound away at “Big Dom” DiSandro for his unprecedented decision to involve himself in in-game action in Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles 42-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is using the word “sad” to address the sideline scuffle controversy …
But the Eagles still aren’t exactly apologizing.
“I’m sad,” Sirianni said, “that it came to what it came to, that anybody got thrown out of the game.”
So the 49ers lost a player. And the Eagles – with all due respect to “Big Dom” and his undoubtedly valuable talents – lost … a guy in a polo shirt.
Of course, Philly didn’t exactly “lose him.” DiSandro was videoed after the game, simply waiting in the tunnel as he received handshakes and hugs from Eagles players and coaches as they entered the losing locker room.
