Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni emphasizes the advantage of their successful quarterback sneak play, stating that every first down feels like first-and-9.

In a recent game against the Miami Dolphins, Sirianni's decision to go for a fourth-and-1 QB sneak instead of punting paid off, extending the drive and ultimately leading to a game-sealing touchdown.
