In Week 15, the matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers will showcase two of the top teams in the NFL, both holding first place in their respective divisions.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers are coming off a 27-14 victory against the Cleveland Browns, and under head coach Mike Tomlin, they have secured seven wins in their last eight games. Pittsburgh is currently ahead of the Baltimore Ravens by two games in the division standings.
Pittsburgh will again be without George Pickens, but they managed to secure a two-touchdown victory over the Browns last week without him.

Pittsburgh’s defense tends to excel against mobile quarterbacks, as evidenced by their ability to limit Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson to some of their least effective games of the season.
I anticipate Pittsburgh will apply significant pressure on Jalen Hurts, which could be problematic for him, as he has been known to struggle under duress.
On another note, it’s worth remembering that Mike Tomlin often excels when positioned as an underdog.
Philadelphia Eagles
In Philadelphia, the Eagles are on a nine-game winning streak, which they managed to extend in Week 14 with a close victory over the struggling Carolina Panthers.
They hold a solid three-game lead in the NFC East over the Washington Commanders as they approach this matchup.
While the Eagles have secured their place in the playoffs, the Steelers are still working toward that goal.

They have several paths to clinch a postseason spot, with winning on Sunday being one of the most straightforward ways to achieve it.
Can the Eagles overcome internal issues to defeat the Steelers? We will have to keep our eye on the A.J. Brown-Jalen Hurts connection today.
