The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to "The City of Brotherly Love" this sunday to do battle w/ cross-state rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles @ 4:15pm EST (CBS).  This will be the teams 1st meeting since 2004. A game which ended via the Steelers humiliating the Eagles by a score of 27-3.  Will the hostile envirnment of Philly be enough to keep the undefeated Steelers @ bay????? Sure to be the most intriguing & physical NFL match-up of the week.

Eagles Offense: (Hot Topics)

Lead by none other than the awesome Donovan McNabb (QB). He is a healthy player & escape-ability has become his signature.  Containing this QB by the Steelers Defense is key.

Brian Westbrook (RB) - Possibly the best overall RB in the NFL today.  Has had 5 TD's in only 2 games & often functions as a 3rd reciever as well.  The guy does it all.  Defense must stop his run.

DeSean Jackson (WR) - This star is a rookie out of Cal.  Has proven in the last 2 games that you don't need to be physically big (5-10, 175) to make it w/ the pros in the NFL.  This talented player must be dealt w/ by the Men of Steel.....

Eagles Defense: (Just a Taste)

A squad that is very large & talented.  Characterized by physical play & has been known to "Bring It"...

Keep your peepers on Patterson (LDT) & Bradley (LB).  Patterson was a number 1 draft pick & Bradley is a 2nd year pro out of Nebraska...

Secondary - Asante Samuel (CB) is the most well known.  He is fast & moves w/ a likeness of Troy Polamalu.  The other two hitmen are Lito Sheppard (CB) & Sheldon Brown (CB).  Both agressive players in their own right.....

In a nutshell, this battle will be an intense physical match-up...  The bookies might even agree that this one might be too close to call...  Steelers Nation wants a repeat of what took place in 2004...

Black n' Gold !!!!!
