Steelers Will Try To Achieve a Feat They Haven't Done In Nearly 60 Years

The Week 15 showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers will be highly anticipated. Both teams represent Pennsylvania and are doing well in their respective campaigns. However, while the Steelers are in a good position to defeat the Eagles, they can do something that hasn’t occurred in 59 years.

Fox Sports NFL tweeted that the Steelers haven’t defeated the Eagles in Philadelphia since October 24, 1965. The Steelers earned their first victory that season with a 20-14 decision over the Eagles. Jim Bradshaw's 82-yard interception return was the difference in that game.

Fast-forward to the 2024 season, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing well. Coming into the game against Philadelphia, they are 10-3 after a victory over the Cleveland Browns. They have won seven of their last eight games.

However, defeating the Eagles will be tough, considering they are on a nine-game winning streak. Therefore, the Steelers must play a perfect game to beat their intrastate rival.
