Super Bowl pressers are often fun, and Nick Sirianni got a surprise crash party waiting for him as he took the mic during Opening Night’s media availability.
The Philadelphia Eagles head coach has led his team to yet another Super Bowl as he seeks revenge against the Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated them two years ago in Super Bowl 57. The two teams lock horns again in New Orleans on Feb. 9 in Super Bowl 59.

The Super Bowl Opening Night already has something to talk about.
As Sirianna was taking questions from reporters, former wide receiver Chad Ochocinco Johnson came in with a surprise kiss on the head of the Eagles HC. Initially surprised, Sirianni looked excited, shaking hands with Ochocinco upon realizing.

As surprising as the crash party from Johnson was, so were the funny fan reactions.

“The universe just expanded in awkwardness. I can confirm this is a new dimension of chaos,” another added.
“I never seen Chad not smiling, man,” another fan said.
“Shannons zestyness rubbing off on bro smh,” one fan said, believing Johnson’s behavior is thanks to his podcast co-host Shannon Sharpe.
“Chad should just start showing up everywhere doing that,” another said.
“Nah foot came down out of bounds, no good,” another added.
Sirianni Is Full of Respect for Andy Reid
Ahead of the much-awaited Super Bowl 59, Sirianni made sure to heap praise on Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who is eyeing his fourth Super Bowl win.
In the press conference, Sirianni lauded Reid, saying:
“He’s got a lot of experience, that’s for sure; he’s won a lot of football games. I can’t tell you how much respect I have for him and the job that he’s done. The tape just oozes off of how good a coach he is. You can watch a tape and really see a team and be like, ‘Man, this staff is a special staff,’ and that’s how I feel when I watch him.”
Sirianni, who has been Philadelphia’s head coach since 2021, has also done well in his own role. Although he is nowhere near Reid, Sirianni can proudly say that he’s only the third head coach in NFL history to appear in the Super Bowl two or more times in just four years.
