Two of the National Football League’s best teams this season are located on opposite ends of Pennsylvania.

In two weeks, they will meet at the Linc in Philly with playoff position and seeding on the line. The Week 15 game on Dec. 15 will start at 4:25 p.m. ET and will air on Fox and will be available to live stream on fubo TV (FREE trial), among others.

Pittsburgh is 8-3 and owns a half-game lead over Baltimore in the AFC North heading into this weekend’s game. It’s a game back of Buffalo for best record and top seed in the conference.

The Steelers had won five straight games before a disappointing setback on a snowy field in Cleveland on Nov. 21. They have managed to win with a top-10 defense, allowing only 20 TDs to date, fourth-best in the league.

Philly has won seven straight since getting crushed by Tampa Bay on Sept. 29. At 9-2, the Eagles have a comfortable lead over the Washington Commanders in the NFC East and are a game behind Detroit for best record and top seed in the conference.

Philly ranks No. 1 in the NHL in defense, allowing an average of 274.6 yards and 21 TDs. They rank third in offense, averaging 389.1 yards.

The Eagles and Steelers have one of the oldest rivalries in the NFL, dating back to 1933. The teams played each other twice a year during the first three decades of the rivalry but since 1970 have met only 12 times.

The Eagles won the last game between the two in 2022 by a score of 35-13.
