EAGLES STEELERS SCORE FREE
Brown on his mid-air adjustment between Steelers’ strong safety Terrell Edmunds and free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on his 39-yard touchdown pass from Hurts on the Eagles’ first drive. Two plays later, they went up top to A.J. They had the Steelers defense going one way on a play-action to Miles Sanders, while Hurts completed a short five-yard pass to tight end Dallas Goedert at the Pittsburgh 39. The Eagles converted one of two third downs and a crucial fourth-and-two at the Pittsburgh 44, which the Eagles executed perfectly. Hurts was five for seven for 60 yards, leading the Eagles to a 7-0 lead on a nine-play, 68-yard drive. Tackle Jordan Davis pulled down Najee Harris from behind for no gain on the first play of the game, tackle Javon Hargrave tripped up Kenny Pickett for a yard gain on second down, and linebacker Haason Reddick’s eight-yard sack ended the drive at the Steelers’ 18. There was an overflow of good, mixed with light touches of bad and ugly in the Eagles’ 35-13 thrashing of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 2022 Eagles look unbeatable-because right now, they are. The Eagles held the Steelers to one of 12 on third-down conversions, ending the game by holding the Steelers without a third-down conversion 10-straight times. Gardner-Johnson’s fourth interception.īy winning, Hurts achieved a franchise record with the longest regular-season winning streak by an Eagles’ quarterback with 10-straight, eclipsing the previous mark of nine that he shared with Hall of Famer Norm Van Brocklin (1960), Donovan McNabb (2003) and his predecessor, Carson Wentz (2017). In seven games, the Eagles have turned the ball over twice, while causing an NFL-high 16 turnovers (10 interceptions, six fumble recoveries) for plus-14 in turnover ratio, after Avonte Maddox’s fourth-quarter fumble recovery and C.J. Hurts threw a career-best four touchdowns and 285 yards, completing 19 of 28 and doing it with precision throws, placing the ball in places where only his receivers could get to them. Brown put on a show, combining for six completions for 156 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and receiver A.J.

The Eagles this season have yet to trail in the second half. In 2004, the Eagles’ winning streak, ironically, was snapped by the Steelers, in Pittsburgh. This is the second time in franchise history the Eagles have started the season 7-0. The Eagles are 7-0 for the first since 2004, when they won the NFC championship before losing to the New England Patriots, 24-21, in Super Bowl XXXIX. It has a nice ring that continues to chime over and over, “the only undefeated team in the NFL.” The Eagles remained the only undefeated team in the NFL after their dominant 35-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
