Steelers vs. Eagles where to watch: NFL kickoff time, live stream, odds, pick for Pennsylvania showdown

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to meet for the first time in two years, a matchup Steelers coach Mike Tomlin dubbed the “Pennsylvania State Championship” this week. The Steelers haven’t won in Philadelphia since 1965 while Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson has never lost to the Eagles — so something has to give.

“The significance in the game is we got an AFC North opponent, knowing that they’re going to be a tough, physical team,” said Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. “And from my mindset, how I view it, how I’ve been watching film, well-coached team, a lot of talent over there. 

“Like any weekend it ain’t gonna be easy. They’re definitely gonna make it tough on us. So we gotta go out there and do what we can to come out with a win.”

The Steelers and Eagles are a matchup of two first-place teams, as the Steelers are 10-3 while the Eagles sit at 11-2. Philadelphia is riding a nine-game win streak and can set a franchise record for consecutive wins (10) with a victory Sunday. This is the only week since the merger featuring multiple AFC vs NFC matchups between 10-win teams in Week 15 or earlier (Steelers and Eagles are on and Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills are the other).
