Game Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles aim to make franchise history with their first-ever 10-game winning streak as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a highly anticipated Keystone State showdown on Sunday.
Eagles Face Internal Turmoil Amid Dominant Season
Despite their impressive 11-2 record and unbeaten run since September, the Eagles enter this game under scrutiny following reports of tension between quarterback Jalen Hurts and star wide receiver A.J. Brown. The controversy emerged after captain Brandon Graham hinted at a strained relationship between the duo on a podcast. Graham later apologized, but questions remain after Hurts threw for a season-low 108 yards in last week’s narrow 22-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
Brown, who has just one touchdown in his last seven games, voiced frustration postgame, citing the need for improvement in the passing game. Head coach Nick Sirianni, however, downplayed any rift, emphasizing the team’s focus on collective growth.
Steelers Surging with Russell Wilson at the Helm
The 10-3 Steelers are riding a wave of momentum, winning seven of their last eight games under the leadership of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. Since taking over in Week 7, Wilson has revitalized Pittsburgh’s offense, averaging 254.9 passing yards per game with 12 touchdowns against just three interceptions.
Coming off a commanding 27-14 win over Cleveland, Wilson and the Steelers are looking to cement their playoff spot with a victory in Philadelphia. However, the road ahead is challenging, with matchups against Baltimore and Kansas City looming.
“We’re locked in on Philadelphia,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “We’ve got a tough job this week, and all of our energy is focused on getting it done.”
Key Matchups and Injury Report
Philadelphia’s defense, allowing just 16 points last week, will be tested against Wilson’s efficiency. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ offensive struggles make it critical for Hurts and Brown to reconnect and break through Pittsburgh’s defense, which has allowed an average of 19.7 points per game this season.
The Steelers will be without key players, including receiver George Pickens (hamstring), safety DeShon Elliott, and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi. The Eagles will miss return specialist Britain Covey (neck).
Historical Context
The Eagles lead the all-time series 49-29-3, with the Steelers winless in Philadelphia since 1965. With playoff implications and Pennsylvania bragging rights at stake, this game promises to be a pivotal moment in the NFL season.
Betting Outlook
The Eagles are favored, but the Steelers’ resilience and Wilson’s recent form make them a tempting underdog pick. Keep an eye on the total points, as Philadelphia’s offensive efficiency may dictate a lower-scoring affair, while Pittsburgh’s recent momentum suggests they could keep it close.
