The Philadelphia Eagles poured it on early and often in a 35-13 Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers that was decided long before the final whistle. The Eagles ran for over 100 yards on the ground and passed for over 300 yards through the air. That’s about as complete an offensive performance as you’ll see.
Offensive spotlight: That’s why the Eagles traded a first-round pick for A.J. Brown. Brown racked up six catches for 156 yards and three scores. And a good number of those weren’t getting caught unless the receiver's name was A.J. Brown.

The Eagles' offense was connecting on all cylinders Sunday.
Defensive spotlight: Javon Hargrave had himself a day against the Steelers' interior offensive line. He led all defensive players in the game with an absurd seven defensive stops. Three came in the run game, two on screens and the final two on sacks. He totaled five pressures on 32 pass-rushing snaps in an unblockable performance.
Rookie spotlight: Sunday was not a banner performance for the Kenny Pickett–George Pickens connection. Pickens was held catchless for the first time in his career on three targets, and Pickett was charted with no big-time throws on the day. He went 25-of-39 for 191 yards with no scores and a pick.
Offensive line spotlight: Things got ugly for the Steelers in pass protection. On 52 pass-blocking snaps, their starting offensive line combined for 23 pressures allowed, pending review. Dan Moore Jr. (9 pressures), Chukwuma Okorafor (5) and Kevin Dotson (4) were the major offenders on the day.
