The Steelers Haven’t Won in Philadelphia in a Very Long Time

The big, bad Pittsburgh Steelers come to town on Sunday to take on your flyin’ high, 2-0 Eagles. Many think this game will tell the tale of how this season is going to play out because Pittsburgh are Super Bowl favorites picked by many, and the Eagles are playing with a first-year quarterback and first-year head coach – and, yes, they’ve only played the Browns and Bears.

But history might be on the side of the Eagles heading into Sunday’s 4:25 game against the Steelers [which Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will call on CBS] at The Linc.

Courtesy of your Eagles media guide, Pittsburgh hasn’t won in Philadelphia dating back all the way to 1966. The Eagles have boasted an undefeated 8-0 record against Pittsburgh in games in Philly.

The Eagles also have the best record against the Steelers since 1960, with a 17-9-2 record overall. So when people are trying to tell you the Steelers are such a better team than the Eagles and Carson Wentz will come back down to earth and actually, you know, play like a rookie, then you can throw these stats at them.

Because stats are cool. Go Eagles.
