Sheil and EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer get you ready for the “Battle of Pennsylvania” as the Eagles are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. There was a lot of drama leading up to the game following A.J. Brown’s comments after last Sunday’s victory over the Panthers. EJ takes us into the locker room and gives us his view on the Jalen Hurts–A.J. Brown dynamic (03:43). How big of a concern are Jake Elliott’s missed field goals? Can he be trusted in big spots (31:25)? Plus, a Nick Sirianni temperature check (36:40). How do the Eagles match up to the Steelers (50:58)? If the Eagles win or lose this game, what will the headlines be (55:54)? Plus, a very long and interesting email segment (1:01:34).
