The Pittsburgh Steelers were thoroughly beaten up on Sunday in the Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a 27-13 decision that never truly felt as close as the final score might indicate.
Pittsburgh was exploited defensively and punched in the mouth offensively, truly having no real answers for the Eagles throughout the game. It certainly didn’t help that the officials felt one-sided, too, with multiple calls going against the Steelers in big spots, creating quite a bit of controversy coming out of the game.
There was the post-play fight that started after Steelers’ tight end Darnell Washington blocked Eagles’ cornerback Darius Slay through the back of the end zone on a pass to running back Najee Harris, kick-starting a fight that saw Slay and fellow CB Quinyon Mitchell seemingly throw punches at Steelers players.
