The Philadelphia Eagles showcased their passing prowess in a strong victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each surpassing 100 receiving yards. Steelers players suggested that the Eagles benefited from lenient officiating, particularly regarding push-off calls.
Brown recorded eight catches for 110 yards and a touchdown, while Smith had 11 catches for 109 yards and a touchdown. This performance marked the first time since 2009 that two Eagles receivers achieved such stats in a game.
Despite the Steelers' concerns about officiating, they acknowledged the need to focus on their own play. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts also excelled, completing passes effectively to both receivers. Brown emphasized the importance of confidence within the Eagles' locker room as they prepare for future challenges.
