Much was made of A.J. Brown‘s relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts leading up to Week 15, but the two seemed to have cleared the air — if it even needed clearing.

The Philadelphia Eagles duo combined for eight receptions, 110 yards and a touchdown, helping the team take down the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-13.

The playoffs are now a certainty for Pittsburgh, but the AFC North will have to wait. The Steelers head to Baltimore next week, where a win over the Ravens would secure them a division title. The Eagles, also postseason-bound, head to Landover, Maryland, where a victory would earn them an NFC East crown.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Nolan Smith has struggled to live up to his first-round draft billing, but the second-year edge defender notched a career-high four quarterback pressures — including one sack — in the Eagles' Week 15 win. Smith also played 40-plus snaps for the third straight week.
