We have a big one to watch on Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles host the cross-state Pittsburgh Steelers. Something has to give.
Philly hasn't beaten Russell Wilson in any of the six games they have seen him. Mike Tomlin hasn't beaten the Birds in a road game.
No one has mentioned this as a Super Bowl preview, but it might be. Fair warning though. If the Eagles and Steelers qualify for football's biggest game, the citizens of New Orleans should beware.
Steelers fans are almost as zany as Eagles fans are, but we will make you a promise. It's common to see Terrible Towels in opponents' stadiums, but the Black and Gold WILL NOT take over Lincoln Financial Field.
Let's talk about a few sneaky Steelers the Eagles offense should monitor.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and his coaching staff don't have to make a decision on George Pickens' status for Sunday's game right now. Tomlin did, however, state Pickens would have been doubtful if a game was on the schedule for the next day.
An MRI reveаled һіs һаmstrіnɡ іnjury wаs more severe tһаn we orіɡіnаlly tһouɡһt. Pһіlly саn't nаp tһrouɡһ tһіs one tһouɡһ. As you sаw, tһаt аlmost resulted іn а һome loss vs. tһe Cаrolіnа Pаntһers.

Wide Receiver Scotty Miller
Running Back Cordarrelle Patterson
We all know Cordarrelle Patterson well. He's been a Swiss-Army knife of sorts. What you may not have known is he's now in Pittsburgh.
He has hauled in ten receptions en route to 69 yards receiving this season. He has added another 123 yards to the Steelers cause on 28 carries. We all know he has the game-breaking ability.
Linebacker Payton Wilson
T.J. Watt and Patrick Queen will get all of the attention at Pittsburgh's linebacker position for obvious reasons, but don't sleep on Payton Wilson. He has logged 55 total tackles, an interception, and a pass breakup so far this season.
