Eagles-Chargers: Start time, channel, how to watch and stream

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni reportedly used Peyton Manning's appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' to help motivate his players this week.

The Eagles take on the Los Angeles Chargers at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday afternoon, where they hope to build on last week’s blowout win over the Detroit Lions and notch their first victory at home this season.

Last week, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was mocked over a now infamous flower speech he relayed to reporters during his weekly press conference. This week, he reportedly turned to Peyton Manning’s appearance on Saturday Night Live to help motivate his team.

According to ESPN, on Wednesday Sirianni showed the team a clip of the Hall of Fame quarterback playing an overly intense version of himself while playing football with kids as part of a spoof of the NFL’s volunteer work with the United Way.

Once he had the team laughing, Sirianni reportedly switched to a video of Manning working out at Duke University during the offseason, to show how meticulous and detail oriented the former quarterback was in approaching the game.

“We have a couple guys on this staff … Jim Bob Cooter worked with Peyton Manning for a long time. [Eagles wide receivers coach] Aaron Moorehead played wide receiver for Peyton … and then I coached for Mike McCoy, and Mike McCoy was Peyton Manning’s offensive coordinator,” Sirianni told reporters earlier this week.

“Mike would always say that Peyton was always like, ‘I’m full speed to the snap,’” Sirianni continued. “So we talked a little bit about that just so we had the attention to detail and the crispness when we walk in here for this walk-through today.”

Today’s game is the second of four this season scheduled to air on CBS, but once again the Eagles didn’t land Tony Romo. Calling the game Sunday will be longtime pay-by-play announcer Ian Eagle and analyst Charles Davis, in his second season at CBS after leaving Fox to replace Dan Fouts. Davis has also been the voice on Madden NFL 22 since 2016, alongside Big Ten Network announcer Brandon Gaudin. Evan Washburn will report from the sideline.

Eagle and Davis also called the Birds’ Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, so hopefully the Eagles will come out on top this time.
