There’s really no contest when it comes to comparing sports in Pittsburgh to sports in Philly, though. There’s never really been a football rivalry between the two cities but the hockey rivalry between the Flyers and Penguins is about alive as it can be given the Flyers’ lack of competitiveness over the years.
The two cities are just fewer than 500 miles apart but might as well be worlds apart in terms of football. The Steelers are the league’s most successful franchise with six Super Bowl victories and the Eagles have only been to the Super Bowl twice; losing both times.
