Eagles may meet Shane Steichen at a pivotal career crossroads in Week 14
The Week 14 matchup between the Eagles and Colts could become a defining moment for Shane Steichen's future in Indianapolis
NFL schedules create storylines before a single meaningful snap is played. Revenge games, primetime grudge matches, and familiar reunions are always on the table. Some of those narratives are overblown.
Others feel entirely believable. The Philadelphia Eagles ' Week 14 showdown against the Indianapolis Colts may fall into the second category. Nostalgia is a funny thing.
After reaching the Super Bowl in both the 2017 and 2022 seasons, the Colts came knocking and raided Philadelphia's coaching staff for its offensive coordinator. Indianapolis hired Frank Reich as its head coach in 2018. He hired Nick Sirianni as his offensive coordinator.
Eventually, the Eagles and Doug Pederson parted ways, and the Birds replaced the first man to win the Super Bowl as head coach with Sirianni, the man who would eventually lead them to their second. Along the way, there was a failure in football's biggest game (Super Bowl LVII). Still, Indianapolis had seen enough, again.
