2024 Week 15 Steelers Vs. Eagles Live Update And Discussion Thread – First Half

Steelers Eagles roundtable kickoff

The Pittsburgh Steelers have traveled across the state to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams are among the hottest teams in the NFL, but history is firmly on the side of the Eagles in this matchup. The Steelers haven’t won in Philadelphia since 1965. That is 10-straight wins for the Eagles at home and they are riding a nine-game streak into this game for the season.

Meanwhile, Russell Wilson has a perfect record against the Eagles in his career. Which piece of history will prove stronger for today’s game?

The Steelers are without WR George Pickens, S DeShon Elliott and DL Larry Ogunjobi. That is three pretty significant starters while the Eagles are basically in perfect health. The Eagles will be contending with themselves a bit as recent drama in the passing game could lead them to throw the ball a bit more than normal.

The Eagles run the ball more than any team in the league and pass less than any other. A deviation from what works could end up playing right into the Steelers’ hands as they work out the kinks in their new game plan.

START OF GAME

The Eagles elected to defer to the second half. The Steelers will start with the ball.

The kickoff was returned just past the 30 by Cordarrelle Patterson. Jaylen Warren laid a huge block that appears to have injured Sydney Brown.

1st and 10, Najee Harris up the middle for 2 yards. 2nd and 8, complete to Pat Freiermuth for a yard. 3rd and 7, Wilson took a deep shot to Van Jefferson, but it fell incomplete. A quick three-and-out for the Steelers.

1st and 10, Jalen Hurts complete to Grant Calcaterra for 22 yards over Elandon Roberts.

1st and 10, Hurts complete to A.J. Brown for 7 yards. 2nd and 3, complete to Devonta Smith for 21 yards.

1st and 10, Saqyon Barkley up the middle for no gain. 2nd and 10, Hurts complete to Smith for 3 yards. 3rd and 7, Hurts scrambled for a gain of 1. Alex Highsmith there to bring him down. The field goal is good. 3-0 Eagles.

Patterson returned the kickoff to the 32. 1st and 10, Harris toss right for 2 yards. 2nd and 8, Harris tackled after about a half yard. Wilson tried a side-arm pass to Jaylen Warren, but it was deflected.

The punt went 47 yards with a return of just 2 to the 21.

1st and 10, Barkley up the middle for 8 yards. 2nd and 2, Barkley tackled for a 2-yard loss by Alex Highsmith. 3rd and 4, Kenneth Gainwell spun around Donte Jackson to convert. Jackson had him dead to rights if he came in under control.

1st and 10, Gainwell for 5 yards up the middle. 2nd and 5, Gainwell off left end for a yard. 3rd and 4, Hurts scrambled and Watt punched the ball out, recovered by Beanie Bishop Jr.

1st and 10, Wilson threw the ball away. 2nd and 10, Wilson’s ball was deflected. 3rd and 10, Wilson was sacked for a loss of 11 by Josh Sweat. The offense looks hapless at the moment.

The punt was caught by Cooper DeJean at the 7, returned 10 yards before getting hit hard for a fumble. Mark Robinson made the play and Nick Herbig recovered.

1st and 10, Najee Harris leapt for about six yards. Flags in the back of the end zone with a fight breaking out. Somehow they weren’t called for offsetting penalties. The awful call by the refs pushed the Steelers into tough range. They are going to have to settle for a field goal. Boswell hit it. 3-3 Even.

1st and 10, Hurts complete to Brown for 16 yards.

1st and 10, Hurts complete to Brown for 20 yards.

1st and 10, Hurts scrambled for 7 yards. 2nd and 3, Barkley up the middle for 22 yards.

1st and goal, Barkley up the middle for no gain with Minkah Fitzpatrick on the tackle. 2nd and goal, complete to Brown in the end zone for a touchdown. Brown already has 4 receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown. A perfect passer rating when targeting him. 10-3 Eagles.

The Eagles are typically bad in the first quarter offensively. Today, not so much. It’s looking like a typical Steelers-Eagles game in Philly.

1st and 10, Warren up the middle for 1 yard. The offense can’t gain more than a yard or two per play. 2nd and 9, Warren gained 4 yards but illegal motion wiped out the gain. That was their only gain over 2 yards. 2nd and 14, Wilson complete to Warren for 11 yards. Holding called on Dan Moore Jr. Once again wiping out a decent gain. The offense can’t catch a break.

END OF 1ST QUARTER: 10-3 EAGLES

2nd and 24, Wilson complete to Calvin Austin III for 6 yards. 3rd and 18, Wilson complete to Warren for 3 yards.

The punt was returned 22 yards to the 45. Waitman didn’t have enough hang time on it to make it returable.

1st and 10, Barkley off the right end for no gain. 2nd and 10, Barkley for a gain of just 3. 3rd and 7, complete to Brown for 17 yards.

1st and 10, incomplete to Brown with Joey Porter Jr. in coverage. He could have picked it off, but dropped it. 2nd and 10, complete to Smith for 7 yards. 3rd and 3, Hurts complete to Gainwell for 16 yards. Donte Jackson was injured on the play.
