Chad Johnson Takes Credit for Helping the Eagles Win the Super Bowl Because of His Unconventional Gesture to Nick Sirianni

Chad Johnson just loves being the center of attention. Whether it’s his public back-and-forth with his ex, Sharelle Rosado — like his viral “Where you going?” remark, for instance — or his heated exchange with James Harrison over a supposed MMA bout, Ocho has made a habit of hitting the headlines with his attention-grabbing statements.

And stunts. What’s more, he’s claiming that his latest shenanigan actually helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl!

What was that, you ask?

Ocho says it was him ‘kissing’ Nick Sirianni!

It happened thusly. The Nightcap co-host surprised Sirianni at the Super Bowl Opening Night by sneaking up from behind while the Eagles HC was addressing questions from the media. Hilariously, Johnson didn’t even give a heads-up and went straight in for a smack on Sirianni’s temple.

Naturally, Sirianni was startled, but once the shock wore off, he broke into a smile upon realizing who it was. “What’s up, baby? You good?” Johnson asked as he embraced the Eagles tactician.

And now, Ocho is taking credit for the team’s success, saying that his ‘good luck’ buss was all the Eagles needed to win!

“Congratulations to the Eagles, but I am going to tell you why the Eagles won… it was the good luck kiss I gave Sirianni before the game started at the media day. That’s what it was.”

Jokes apart, Johnson’s co-host Shannon Sharpe was quick to set the record straight on what won the game for the Eagles. According to Unc, the credit should primarily go to their D-line, which did an unbelievable job pressuring Patrick Mahomes into mistakes.

What impressed Unc the most, however, was the Eagles defense’s relentless pursuit of Mahomes, even when he managed to escape their initial rush.

For the legendary NFL TE, the Eagles’ secondary, along with coaches Nick Sirianni and Vic Fangio, deserve the utmost credit for the Super Bowl victory.

“I mean, you got to give the Eagles credit. Mahomes didn’t play well, but it wasn’t that he didn’t play well on his own, the Eagles had a lot to do with that. Philly’s front four was relentless. You gotta give Sirianni credit, give credit to Josh Sweat, give credit to (DeVonta) Smith, give credit to Jaylen Carter, give credit to (Milton) Williams, give credit to those guys,” said Sharpe.

“They did an unbelievable job of doing what they were supposed to do. And guess what? Even when Patrick Mahomes was able to escape, they chased him down; they didn’t give up. They were relentless in their pressure, and they earned this victory,” he continued.

As Sharpe highlighted, there was no element of luck in the Eagles’ Super Bowl success. Nick Sirianni’s men were simply the hungrier side of the day. But Ocho, being Ocho, still found a way to steal the spotlight.
