The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Steelers in almost every facet of the game. The final score was 27–13, but even that suggests it was closer than it appeared. The Eagles manhandled Pittsburgh and put up some gaudy stats in doing so.
This team is showing the league that it will be hard to prepare for as it can beat you by throwing, running, and with a suffocating defense.
The numbers from this week’s game are some of the wildest ones of the season!
Eagles By Numbers
0- the amount of points Pittsburgh scored in the second half.
1– the total defensive ranking of the Philadelphia Eagles.

One 8 wasn’t enough- The number of pass completions Jalen Hurts had in 11 attempts for 98 yards and two touchdowns when being blitzed.
9– points from Jake Elliott, two field goals, and three extra points. It was nice to see him back on track. The Eagles will need Jake for a Super Bowl run.
10- minutes and 29 seconds, the time of the 21-play 88-yard drive that ended the game. The Eagle’s offense killed the clock and all hopes of a comeback.
10- part deux.–The franchise-leading number of wins in a row for the Eagles. As Jalen said, ten sounds great; eleven is better.

153.0- Jalen Hurts’ perfect passer rating at halftime. He was 12 of 13 for 146 yards and 2 TDs. He started the game off hot by going 8 of 8.

2050- is the number of yards Saquon Barkley is on pace for. Catching Eric Dickerson may be tough, but 2000 yards are in play.
