Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles continued their winning streak with a decisive 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. This win marks the Eagles' 10th consecutive triumph, tying them with the Detroit Lions for the best record in the NFC at 12-2.

Head Coach Nick Sirianni expressed pride in his team's achievement, stating, "Every game is the biggest game we play. We'll go into this next game as the biggest game that we need to play. Every team in the NFL is hard to beat. Every win is hard to do. To have 10 of them in a row, which this city's never had, I really take a lot of pride in that."

Quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered an outstanding performance against a traditionally strong Steelers defense. He completed 25 of 32 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns, achieving a passer rating of 125.3. Hurts also contributed on the ground with a rushing touchdown and 45 yards.

Wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were instrumental in dismantling Pittsburgh's secondary. Brown recorded eight receptions for 110 yards and one touchdown, while Smith added eleven catches for 109 yards and another touchdown.

Brown emphasized the importance of continuous improvement after the game: "It's important to find a way to win; it's tough to win in this league... We're trying to find ways to keep getting better."

The Eagles' early offensive success set the tone for their victory, scoring ten points in the first quarter alone and maintaining control throughout the match.

Defensively, Philadelphia dominated by limiting Pittsburgh to just three points following turnovers and controlling possession time significantly more than their opponents.

Linebacker Zack Baun praised his team's defensive efforts: "I'm really proud of the performance... We did a good job stopping the run."

Turnovers played a crucial role as well, with Darius Slay recovering a fumble from Pittsburgh's Najee Harris during a pivotal moment that helped maintain Philadelphia's lead.

Slay highlighted their defensive mindset: "Every time we attack the field our goal is... Play smart; play fast with each other; play together."

Other notable performances included Kenneth Gainwell stepping up offensively when needed and Jake Elliott contributing reliable special teams support through successful field goals and PATs.
