Eagles football returns to Lincoln Financial Field as the Steelers come into town for a battle of Pennsylvania.

With Washington's win over the Saints today, the Eagles will have to wait another week to clinch the NFC East. They can do so with a win over the Commanders next Sunday.

A win today would be a franchise-record 10th straight win for the Eagles.
