Great Opportunity - Iggles Blitz
The Eagles take on the 10-3 Steelers on Sunday. That game is a great opportunity in a few ways. First, it gives the Eagles a chance to flush the past week down the drain. Go beat the Steelers and no one will care about last week. The score can be 31-30 or 14-13. Find a way to win and that will be what gets all the attention. The other opportunity is the Eagles getting to show where they stand against a division leader and playoff team. When you don’t play a bunch of good teams, it helps to beat the ones you do face. The Eagles are 3-1 at this point. Beating the Steelers would boost that. The Eagles don’t have to worry about impressing a committee to get a good seed, but it does help to make annoying questions go away. You aren’t going to beat Pittsburgh with a sloppy performance. The Eagles need to prepare well, practice well and play well. This is the kind of game they need coming off a weird week. Focus. Put all of your attention into beating the Steelers. If something is going to bring a team together, it is a tough opponent. The Eagles goal is to be a Super Bowl team. You don’t do that by just racking up a bunch of wins. You need to play good teams. You need to be tested so you’re ready when January gets here. Hopefully the Eagles will pass that test on Sunday.

The Steelers historically don’t play well in Philadelphia. Without George Pickens, it’s going to be tough for them to go score-for-score with the Eagles’ Saquon Barkley-led offense. I think the Steelers keep it close but ultimately fall short, 27-24 Eagles. As for the rest of the season? I’m bullish on this Pittsburgh squad and see them winning the AFC North. The Steelers have already beaten three teams in the AFC playoff picture this season and as a result, I see them making some noise in the postseason. Based on recent history, I still don’t see the Steelers making the Super Bowl, but this team has the pieces to make a run.
