We now know what it feels like when a high-flying eagle releases its talons, allowing our mouse-like body to flutter through the whipping winds until it impacts the cold ground.
Oooofff. That was painful.
Philadelphia Eagles 27. Pittsburgh Steelers 13.
Eagles total yards 401. Steelers 163.
Eagles time of possession 39:52. Steelers 20:08.
It was a trouncing. On the scoreboard. Of our egos. And, maybe of our Super Bowl aspirations.
Now, we must rise up from the ground quickly. Because as bad as it was to have been dropped to earth by an eagle, the last thing we need now is to have our eyes pecked out by a raven.
