In a pivotal matchup, the Philadelphia Eagles took charge against the Pittsburgh Steelers, establishing a commanding 27-7 lead by the time Kenny Pickett exited the game. The Eagles started the day without their usual starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts, who was sidelined due to a concussion sustained in the previous week’s loss to the Washington Commanders.
With Hurts unavailable, the Eagles relied heavily on their offensive strategy, showcasing a formidable performance that put them ahead early in the game. The Steelers struggled to find their rhythm, with Pickett unable to maintain momentum before leaving the contest.
The absence of Hurts did not seem to hinder the Eagles, as they capitalized on their opportunities and executed plays effectively. As the game progressed, the Eagles' defense also played a crucial role, limiting the Steelers' scoring chances and maintaining their lead. This matchup highlighted the resilience of the Eagles, even in the face of adversity.
