PITTSBURGH had better be ready to accept the changing landscape of their division after a brutal loss to PHILADELPHIA on Sunday. The EAGLES were utterly dominant, securing a 27-13 win that seemed to only tell part of the story.
From the opening whistle, there was a noticeable gap between the two teams. PHILADELPHIA seemed to have the momentum and energy of a team on the rise while the STEELERS looked tired and overwhelmed. This was a performance that had been coming for some time now, as Pittsburgh have struggled all season to find the consistency that once defined their team.
It's been clear for a while now that this isn't the same Pittsburgh team of past years. Gone are the days when they were consistently a top-five team in the league. With new faces on the coaching staff and major changes in the lineup, this STEELERS team has looked like they are stuck in transition all year.
That being said, there is an entirely different dynamic at play in PHILADELPHIA. With head coach [COACH NAME] molding the EAGLES into his own style of play, there's been significant growth among his players. The group has displayed remarkable depth and talent. As they embark on another fantastic run in the league, PHILADELPHIA are truly paving the way forward and setting themselves up to be among the top contender teams for years to come.
The STEELERS on the other hand, will need to confront their own shortcomings. They've got more tough matchups lined up this season and until they can show some improvement, it's going to be an arduous road for their already dwindling fan base. Nothing indicates that the Steelers have an easy fix for their current slump and Sundays crushing loss served up some cold harsh truths.
We will see what unfolds in the coming weeks and if this latest loss finally spells out the changes that STEELERS Nation has been anxiously waiting for.
PITTSBURGH have been spared zero pain and this beating felt more than just an unfortunate loss.
