Dave Weinberg’s Steelers-Eagles 2-minute drill

Eagles’ best number: 219 (combined receiving yards by A.J. Brown (110) and DeVonta Smith (109))

Eagles’ worst number: 2 (Turnovers in the first quarter)

View from my living room:

Prepped for the game by taking three of my four grandsons to see “The Polar Express” at the IMax Theater at Tropicana Atlantic City.  They were enthralled and amazed, as was Poppy.

Three stars

1. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (25-32-290 yards and 2 TDs, 1 TD rushing).
2.  Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (8 receptions, 110 yards, 1 TD).
3. Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt (2 sacks, 1 tackle for loss, 7 total tackles).

Eagles’ best play

The entire Eagles offense deserves credit for controlling the clock.  The Eagles held the ball for nearly 40 minutes to the Steelers’ 20.

Eagles’ worst play

Eagles punt returner Cooper DeJean coughed up a fumble on a hit by Steelers linebacker Mark Robinson. Linebacker Nick Herbig recovered it to set up Chris Boswell’s 37-yard field goal that tied the game at 3-3.

Turning point

Down 20-13, the Steelers were driving toward a potential game-tying touchdown in the third quarter when Steelers running back Najee Harris fumbled a pitchout that was recovered by Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.  The Eagles subsequently drove 74 yards and took a commanding, 27-13 lead on Hurts’ 1-yard sneak.

Did you notice?

The Eagles set a franchise record with their 10^th straight win.  At 12-2, they are tied with the Lions for the best record in the NFL – the Vikings are 11-2 heading into Monday’s game against the Bears – and currently hold the No. 2 seed in the NFC.… If the season ended now, the Lions would be the top seed. … A banner plane flew over the stadium before the game sporting the message “Enough Fake News! Philly Stands with 1 (Hurts) and 11 (Brown).”… TV sideline cameras caught a sideline altercation between Nick Sirianni and defensive line coach Clint Hurtt when Sirianni approached defensive tackle Jalen Carter about a personal foul penalty he had just committed.… Running back Saquon Barkley’s 65 rushing yards were his second-fewest this season, behind the 47 he gained against the Browns on Oct. 13.… Hurts lost his third fumble of the season when Watt punched the ball loose in the first quarter.… Steelers haven’t won in Philadelphia since 1965.  They have lost 10 straight there.… Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson had never lost to the Eagles before today.
