Nick Sirianni and Cooper DeJean were flying high at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday.

The Philadelphia Eagles head coach and defensive back “ignited the orange” before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Second Round between the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes.

Both Sirianni and DeJean sported Flyers playoff T-shirts and as they signaled for the crowd to get loud.

Sirianni did the honors of moving the hockey stick over and setting off flames.

The duo then posed for a picture with Flyers mascot Gritty.

DeJean has become a staple at the Xfinity Mobile Arena during the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. He also cheered on the Flyers against the Pittsburgh Penguins during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round.
