Eagles dominate mistake-prone Steelers 17-0

The Eagles broke the streak late in the game when Montell Garner forced a fumble and Doran Grant picked it up for Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a team which has remained relatively unscathed due to injury, and that trend continued after their 2nd preseason game against the Eagles. – Eagles coach Doug Pederson. With these playmakers – three of the best in the league in Rothlesberger, Brown and Bell – on the sidelines, the Eagles should have a chance to flex their defense. “Not put yourself in those vulnerable hits like that where you can get the ball out a little bit faster”. “I was smiling the whole time”.

Bradford must play on Thursday with a shuffled offensive line.

Neither team cracked 300 total yards on offense (298 for Philadelphia and 207 for Pittsburgh), but Eagles punter Donnie Jones accounted for 353 yards on his seven punts.

Eagles: Third-round pick Isaac Seumalo started at left guard. Now he goes against first-team defenders and must protect Bradford.

Week 2 of the preseason is about extended first looks.

“Well, I just felt like he saw the potential in me and he wanted me to do more”, Green-Beckham said. “I believe in all the guys we have in that room”.

Other injured Eagles who will sit, according to Dave Zangaro at CSNPhilly.com, are Defensive tackle Mike Martin, cornerback Jalen Mills and wide receiver Hunter Sharp. Nelson Agholor and Chris Givens did not catch a single pass.

Dorial Green-Beckham arrived at Heinz Field early Thursday afternoon. “It’s a small sample size”.

Worse still would be watching Huff have a big game, because we all know by now that that would be a mirage, were it to ever actually occur. Obviously, there were a few balls that could have been caught. Lane Johnson, still waiting for final world on his substance abuse suspension, won’t be in his starting right tackle spot.

Jones threw four interceptions and the Eagles outlasted the Steelers, 17-0, in the second preseason game for both teams. But Thursday will nonetheless be important for Bradford. Carson Wentz threw for 89 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in 12-for-24 passes.
