The most important thing is that the Steelers won the game. That’s when I wonder: “Are the Eagles really good or are the Bears and Browns that bad?” The Steelers come into this game with the No. 2 ranked defense in the league against the run. I also see DeAngelo Williams continuing to be a top notch back for the Steelers.

“He’s one of best in the business at sliding and picking and just working his way around the pocket”, Schwartz said. He’s doing a nice job of upholding his end of the bargain.
The Steelers and Williams can run outside, too. “He’s known for getting in space and making big plays”. “I just have to be really really smart with how I’m reading things”.
Carson Wentz’s excellent start is nothing compared to what Ben Roethlisberger did his rookie season. That holds true this season, despite the fact that ran for 94 yards last week.
The Pittsburgh Steelers may have a 2-0 record for the first time since 2010, but there’s an aspect of their game that’s severely lacking: the Steelers have yet to sack an opposing quarterback in the regular season.
This basically means that Keisel is the retroactive MVP of the Steelers’ 2008 season.
You look at the Eagles first two opponents-the always hapless Browns and now hapless Bears-and it’s understandable why so many people are confident Pittsburgh can leave Lincoln Financial Field this Sunday evening with its modest undefeated record still intact.
That’s a problem. It’s only a four-man rush, but Roethlisberger basically doesn’t have to move at all after his drop.
He will get his big-money deal.
Villanueva is part of a solid offensive line that’s a major reason why the Steelers have been successful. This may be the best challenge the Eagles defense will face all year.
Brown was a sixth-round pick of the Steelers in 2010, so the Eagles drafted Keenan Clayton, Ricky Sapp, Mike Kafka, Trevard Lindley, Riley Cooper and Daniel Te’o-Nesheim while he was available. “That”s especially true if the Steelers go on to win the Super Bowl as free agent players on Super Bowl teams tend to be overvalued on the market.
On the other side, Cincinnati is dead last in rushing defense, and Broncos running back C.J. Anderson leads the National Football League with seven runs of at least 10 yards. We discussed how Pittsburgh will attack Carson Wentz, what key match-ups could determine the victor of the game and who will come out on top, among several other topics.
Some in the Eagles’ front office saw some of those same qualities as well. Teams, historically, are pretty successful coming off their bye weeks.
CBSsports is one site that gives the Eagles a shot.
If the Eagles can hit Ben Roethlisberger early and often, they can win this game. That was the first of eight straight Eagles losses following a 3-1 start that ultimately led to Andy Reid’s firing at the end of the season. They’ll beat the Giants, lose to the Falcons, and lose to the Seahawks.
If the Steelers can start fast, then they can put pressure on Wentz. Tough back-to-back games. 8-4.
After trouncing the Washington Redskins 38-16 on Monday Night Football in Week 1, the Steelers took down the Bengals 24-16 in Week 2.
I think the Eagles will acquit themselves well. Chip Kelly and Carroll overlapped for only one season as college coaches in the Pac-10.
@moleloco: will da eagles make da playoffs? “They want to get out to a lead and then force the other team to make mistakes when they’re trying to keep up”. In the receiving end, Jordan Matthews posted 71 yards in six receptions while Trey Burton added 49 yards and a touchdown in five receptions.
Offensively, the Eagles are averaging 29.0 points and 341.5 total yards ( 225.0 passing and 116.5 rushing) per game.
