What the Eagles’ back-breaking drive against the Steelers tell us about the offense

New York Times  

The Philadelphia Eagles extended their season of dominance against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a demoralizing final drive, a possession of prolonged punishment that served both a statement and notice. “So that’s a big up for the coaching staff, especially Stout, just preparing us throughout the week, getting those guys ready for whatever scenario we face out on the field.” Play 3 : Hurts complete to Brown, 21 yards. The Steelers eventually tightened up against the run on this drive, but the Eagles managed to give Barkley two yards of space before contact. Smith initially sat on a deep hitch along the left numbers, then shifted laterally behind the Steelers linebackers until Hurts found him atop the Eagles logo. Analysis: It’s uncertain whether the Steelers blitzed, or if they simply understood a tight end motioning signaled yet another Barkley run.
