The tone was set early on Sunday when the Eagles hosted the Steelers, and it only took into the first quarter for the teams to square off after the whistle. Steelers TE/OT Darnell Washington kind of man-handled Darius Slay through the endzone, resulting in the entire Eagles defense getting their Captain’s back.

Notably, it was the young guys like Jalyx Hunt and Quinyon Mitchell who let Washington know they were not to be messed with.
