Well, that sucked.
Without three key starters against one of the best teams in the league, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked overmatched from the opening kickoff and had no real answers schematically or physically against the Philadelphia Eagles. That resulted in a frustrating 27-13 loss that dropped the Steelers to 10-4 on the season in a game that was marred by a number of questionable officiating calls that played a factor in the outcome.
The Eagles nearly doubled the Steelers’ time of possession Sunday and held the Steelers to just 11 plays in the second half, resulting in a thorough beatdown in the Pennsylvania state championship game.
