'Brotherly Shove' converts 4th and 1. 2/2 vs. the #Steelers.

Hurts to Brown. Brown moves the chains and fumbles. Smith recovers. It was a clear hip-drop tackle by Pierre. No call. Brown goes to the sideline.

Gainwell deserves a TD. The #Eagles will drain the clock.

Brown breaks the #Eagles out from the endzone with a slant route. It's a beautiful sight.

The high-risk play from Hurts to Barkley was not, but got a few yards. Then, a beauty to Smith. Good on Hurts.

Tripping? The #Steelers are getting hockey calls.

Carter bear pawed on the punt return. The unnecessary roughness call pins the #Eagles against their endzone.

The momentum is back with the #Eagles after that fumble by the #Steelers.

Hurts, Brown, Smith, Barkley, and Gainwell are moving downfield.

'Brotherly Shove' TD.

27-13, PHI

The flea-flicker works for 31YD. Wilson to Austin with Baun tracking coverage.

Harris fumbles the toss. #Eagles ball.

Slay recovers.

The #Eagles need to pick on where Jackson was on the #Steelers defense. Expose that matchup.

Hurts to Smith picks up all the yardage lost on an earlier penalty. Unnecessary roughness benefits PHI. Holding does not.

Elliott from 41yd is good.

20-13, PHI

Half

The #Eagles passing game started hot. Without Barkley in the lineup, the #Steelers are slowly creeping back into the game.

• Barkley: 7:31YD
• Brown: 5:65YD, 1TD
• Smith: 4:33YD, 1TD
• Dean: 9TK
• Smith: 2TK, 1SK, 1PD

A bad punt by Mann starts the #Steelers in FG range. Freiermuth fumbled, but recovered.

Smith sacks Wilson. Wilson to Austin put PIT back into FG range.

Boswell from 49yd is good.

17-13, #Eagles

Watt sacked Hurts for no loss. Hurts scrambled, but got tripped up at the line of scrimmage.

Gainwell replaced Barkley a while ago. It seems Barkley is ready to return. The #Eagles could wait until the second half.

False start. Watt ends the drive with a sack.

Wilson sneaks for the first down. This is the first #Steelers sustained drive on offense.

Wilson to Freiermuth. 9yd. TD.

17-10, #Eagles

Wilson to Skowronek picks up the first #Steelers first down.

Blankenship made a solid tackle; committed. Fields' slide was late, but PIT will benefit from the unnecessary roughness call. Wilson scrambles to move the chains.

#Eagles injury: Slay

Bad snap. Jurgens/Hurts had quite a few growing pains in his first season as the #Eagles C. Most of those botched snaps come on the 'Brotherly Shove,' however.

Hurts to Smith. 2yds. TD.

17-3, PHI

Brown is such a great WR. He makes the catches, and when a ball isn't on placement, he can break up a possible INT.

Hurts to Gainwell puts the #Eagles in a scoring position. Hurts is locked on.

#Steelers injury: Jackson is down.

Illegal motion. Holding. The #Steelers cannot convert on 3rd and 18.

That's another punt forced by the #Eagles defense. DeJean redeems himself a little bit with a return across midfield.

Hurts to Brown is working in the first quarter. It looks like the drama between the two was highly exaggerated.

Barkley breaks a 22yd rush. Fitzpatrick got his tackle back after Barkley shook him on the long run.

Hurts to Brown. 5yd. TD.

10-3, #Eagles

Hurts fumbled a few times in this win streak, but the #Eagles recovered them all.

Not today. The #Steelers are as advertised with the best turnover differential in the #NFL.

Barkley starts with a run, taking Heyward for a short ride. Gainwell moved the chains; spinning into space for a first down.

Hurts fumbled.

On Saturday,
@emreese.bsky.social on @flippinthebirds.bsky.social mentioned this would be a critical point for Hurts vs. #Steelers.

Austin and Washington earned unnecessary roughness fouls. The penalty on Austin is accepted.

Wilson misfires on 3rd and 18. The #Steelers still aren't moving the ball against the #Eagles. They were gifted field position on turnovers.

Boswell from 37yd is good.

3-3.

Sweat sacked Wilson. That's another three-and-out for the #Eagles defense.

DeJean fumbles on the punt return.

The #Steelers have the top turnover differential in the #NFL.

Consecutive three-and-outs from the #Eagles defense. The #Steelers moved the ball for a total of 5yd after two drives.

Hurts to Calcaterra. TE matchup initiated by the #Eagles. Next, it's Brown on the slant. That gets cheers from the crowd.

Hurts is airing it out on the opening drive. The #Steelers stuffed the run.

Elliott from 34yd is good.

3-0, PHI

"Guys always joking around, eating together, having conversations with us about football, life; things like that. Definitely [the] same type of vibes." - Smith; 12/13/24

Smith shared that the vibes in 2024 are reminiscent of 2022.
