The Philadelphia Eagles simply embarrassed the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, saving their best for last. Trailing by 14, the Steelers punted while in Eagles territory with over 10 minutes to play. HC Mike Tomlin obviously thought he would see the ball again—even multiple times—but it didn’t happen that way. Instead, the Eagles closed out the game, traversing 88 yards in 21 plays.
I don’t know what the record is for the longest closeout drive in NFL history, but that’s certainly the longest I can remember. Against a top-10 Steelers defense, the Eagles simply refused to relinquish control.
