This 7-0 start has been so impressive by the Eagles, and second-year head coach Nick Sirianni and his staff should receive much praise for the team’s play so far this season.
As for Pittsburgh, their offense was able to put 10 points on the board in the first half, but when you are playing a high-powered offense like Philadelphia’s, you will need a lot more points to stay in the game.
The Steelers will now have a bye week which may work out well for Mike Tomlin and crew to try to readjust to see if they can turn their season around in week ten as they play host to the New Orleans Saints.
The Eagles will look to move to 8-0 as they head to Houston in week ten to take on Dameon Pierce and the Texans on Thursday Night Football.
