Dave Zangaro and Reuben Frank discuss the Steelers defense and the key matchups against the Eagles offense in Week 15.
This edition of the Battle of Pennsylvania will be of the heavyweight variety.
The 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles will welcome the 10-3 Pittsburgh Steelers to Lincoln Financial Field in NFL Week 15 for an in-state showdown.
The Birds have won nine straight games and are officially headed to the playoffs for a fourth time in as many seasons under head coach Nick Sirianni. But it's not exactly all sunshine and rainbows in South Philly at the moment.
The Eagles squeaked past the lowly Carolina Panthers at home in Week 14, with quarterback Jalen Hurts throwing for just 83 net passing yards in a 22-16 victory. Star wideout A.J. Brown then made headlines with his postgame comments on the team's struggling passing attack before team legend Brandon Graham made eye-opening comments about Brown's relationship with Hurts. Graham later apologized for those comments, saying he made assumptions about the relationship.

The Eagles are dealing with some drama ahead of a tough matchup against the surprise Steelers. Mike Tomlin's team is 6-1 with Russell Wilson under center, with their lone loss coming versus the Browns amid heavy snow in Cleveland last month.
So, will the Steelers add to the Eagles' frustrations by handing them their first loss since September? Or will the Birds move past the drama and extend their winning streak with yet another signature victory?
