December 16, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\nAlright, now on to the actual plays!<\/p>\n
21st: 1st & 10 at PHI 43 <\/strong>(7:04 – 4th) (Shotgun) S.Barkley right end to PHI 39 for -4 yards (M.Adams).<\/p>\n20th: 1st & 10 at PIT 39 <\/strong>(5:33 – 4th) (Shotgun) S.Barkley left guard to PIT 42 for -3 yards (M.Fitzpatrick). ** Injury Update: PIT-D.Kazee has returned to the game.<\/p>\n\n- These two negative runs by Saquon Barkley were a bummer, but only allowed the Eagles to eat up more clock and drain the life from the Steelers\u2019 souls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
19th: 1st & 20 at PIT 38 <\/strong>(3:15 – 4th) (Shotgun) S.Barkley right guard to PIT 38 for no gain (A.Highsmith). PHI-M.Becton was injured during the play.<\/p>\n18th: 1st & 11 at PHI 2 <\/strong>(10:29 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass incomplete short left to A.Brown.<\/p>\n\n- Mekhi Becton getting banged up on the 1st and 20 play makes it rank lower than the other play that gained zero yards. Sadly, both of these plays resulted in the clock stopping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
17th: 1st & 10 at PIT 18 <\/strong>(3:00 – 4th) (Shotgun) K.Gainwell right guard to PIT 17 for 1 yard (P.Queen).<\/p>\n16th: 2nd & Goal at PIT 8 <\/strong>(1:20 – 4th) J.Hurts kneels to PIT 9 for -1 yards.<\/p>\n\n- This was the worst of Jalen Hurts\u2019 three kneel downs. I didn\u2019t care for it and, quite frankly, he needs to watch some film and get better at it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
15th: 2nd & 6 at PHI 32 <\/strong>(8:22 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass short left to S.Barkley to PHI 36 for 4 yards (P.Queen).<\/p>\n\n- Getting Barkley involved in the passing game is smart. Getting the ball in his hands as often as possible leads to good stuff. #analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
14th: 1st & 10 at PHI 28 <\/strong>(9:05 – 4th) (Shotgun) S.Barkley left guard to PHI 32 for 4 yards (D.Lowry; K.Benton)<\/p>\n13th: 3rd & 2 at PIT 10 <\/strong>(2:12 – 4th) (Shotgun) K.Gainwell left tackle to PIT 8 for 2 yards (E.Roberts; K.Benton)<\/p>\n\n- If you need two yards on third down to get a first down, Kenny Gainwell will get you two yards. If you need five yards on third down to get a first down, Kenny Gainwell will get you two yards. Good situational awareness by Nick Sirianni to use his backup tailback here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
12th: 3rd & 1 at PIT 19 <\/strong>(3:04 – 4th) J.Hurts up the middle to PIT 18 for 1 yard (P.Queen; I.Loudermilk). ** Injury Update: PHI-M.Becton has returned to the game.<\/p>\n\n- Nice, Becton is back in the game! Also, another first down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
11th: 3rd & Goal at PIT 9 <\/strong>(0:39 – 4th) J.Hurts kneels to PIT 9 for no gain.<\/p>\n\n- This kneel down was much better than the other one and was also the final play of the game. Good win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
10th: 2nd & 9 at PIT 17 <\/strong>(2:56 – 4th) (Shotgun) F.Johnson reported in as eligible. K.Gainwell right guard to PIT 10 for 7 yards (D.Kazee)<\/p>\n9th: 3rd & 2 at PHI 36 <\/strong>(7:39 – 4th) (Shotgun) S.Barkley left tackle to PHI 43 for 7 yards (D.Kazee). PIT-D.Kazee was injured during the play.<\/p>\n\n- Gainwell gets a lot of hate online because he isn\u2019t always a productive running back, but he and Barkley teamed up quite nicely on this final drive to keep the chains moving and keep the Birds on schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
8th: 2nd & 13 at PIT 42 <\/strong>(4:50 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass incomplete short left to A.Brown (P.Wilson). PIT-T.Watt was injured during the play.<\/p>\n\n- I don\u2019t like when players get hurt. I especially don\u2019t like when good players (who also happened to play at my alma mater) get hurt. I hope T.J. Watt\u2019s injury isn\u2019t serious…but you can\u2019t deny that not having him on the field is very important in terms of how well the Eagles offense did over the final five minutes of the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
7th: 2nd & 14 at PHI 39 <\/strong>(6:21 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass deep middle to D.Smith to PIT 39 for 22 yards (C.Sutton; Ni.Herbig)<\/p>\n6th: 2nd & 11 at PHI 2 <\/strong>(10:25 – 4th) (Shotgun) S.Barkley left guard to PHI 7 for 5 yards (A.Highsmith)<\/p>\n5th: 2nd & 20 at PIT 38 <\/strong>(3:11 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass short left to A.Brown pushed ob at PIT 19 for 19 yards (J.Pierre) [Ni.Herbig]<\/p>\n\n- These three plays, which occurred at different points throughout the drive, were all important because they gave the Eagles breathing room (Barkley run) or were explosives (the other two plays) that kept Pittsburgh on their heels. Kellen Moore did a really nice job of mixing things up and keeping the Steelers guessing all game. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
4th: 3rd & 13 at PIT 42 <\/strong>(4:46 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass short left to D.Smith to PIT 30 for 12 yards (P.Wilson; D.Kazee)<\/p>\n\n- DeVonta Smith rules. I love him like a son.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3rd: 3rd & 6 at PHI 7 <\/strong>(9:47 – 4th) (Shotgun) J.Hurts pass short left to A.Brown to PHI 28 for 21 yards (M.Fitzpatrick; D.Kazee)<\/p>\n\n- A.J. Brown also rules. I love him like an older son.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2nd: 1st & Goal at PIT 8 <\/strong>(2:00 – 4th) J.Hurts kneels to PIT 8 for no gain<\/p>\n\n- Starting to kneel right after the two minute warning while being inside the 10-yard line because your drive has been going on for so long that the other team has already used all of their timeouts and are powerless to stop you or the clock HAS to be an awesome feeling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
1st: 4th & 1 at PIT 30 <\/strong>(4:04 – 4th) J.Hurts up the middle to PIT 28 for 2 yards (Ca.Heyward; M.Fitzpatrick)<\/p>\n\n- I have spent a lot of the last few years yelling about Sirianni\u2019s fourth down decisions and I was a bit worried here that he would make the wrong one…but he didn\u2019t. He played to win the game and, lo and behold, the Eagles did! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Shoutout to Nick Sirianni, Kellen Moore, the offensive line, Jalen Hurt, Kenny Gainwell, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Mike Tomlin for making this dream drive happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
