00:00The Keystone clash in the Commonwealth yesterday in the city of brotherly love between the

00:08Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:11Two teams that entered yesterday, each already with double-digit wins, each already in that

00:16top spot in their respective divisions.

00:19The Steelers in the AFC North, of course the Birds in the NFC East.

00:23Donnie, there was some conversation entering our Week 15 Sunday slate.

00:28Which matchup between two inter-conference foes would be more likely a Super Bowl preview?

00:34In Detroit, the Lions or the Bills?

00:36The odds makers would tell you that.

00:38Two of the four best prices to win Super Bowl 59 entering now are two shortest favorites,

00:44or the Eagles and the Steelers, just to show you the stakes of those two games.

00:49Well, both teams in those winning spots do so rather comfortably.

00:54Buffalo as an outright underdog on the road.

00:57Philly as a home favorite, making 10 straight for the Eagles, 27-13, easily covering as

01:05a 5.5 point home favorite.

01:07Total of 42.5, does somehow, someway stay under.

01:11Donnie, there was so much conversation this week, sparked by Brandon Graham, about the

01:16internal drama in that locker room between quarterback Jalen Hurts and number one wide

01:21receiver A.J.

01:23Brown.

01:24And despite a team with 10 consecutive victories, maybe some more drama for the Eagles on the

01:30sideline yesterday, but Philly wins to make it 10 straight.

01:34They now, at 12-2, are right alongside Detroit for what would be that one seed in the NFC.

01:41It's pretty impressive what the Philadelphia Eagles have done, and based upon what you

01:45saw last year heading down the stretch, most people said, well, just changing coordinators,

01:48even though you got two really solid ones, isn't going to make all that big of a difference.

01:53The Philadelphia Eagles, far and away, and Ben, it's not even close now, the best defense

01:57in football.

01:58And quite frankly, yesterday, the best two defenses in football lined up yesterday, and

02:01one absolutely dominated the other one.

02:03Yes, George Pickens wasn't there for the Pittsburgh Steelers, I understand that.

02:07But the Philadelphia Eagles, I mean, from every level, offensive, defensive line, linebackers,

02:12and secondary.

02:13And keep in mind, this was a team that couldn't even get off the field, first down, second

02:16down, third down, any down last year.

02:19They bring in Vic Fangio, and all of a sudden, everybody knows exactly what their assignment

02:23is.

02:24And also keep in mind, two rookies play in that secondary.

02:27Zach Bond was signed off the scrap heap for like a million dollars from New Orleans, who

02:32was supposed to be a part-time special teams player, an outside pass rusher.

02:35He might be the best middle linebacker in football.

02:38Jalen Carter absolutely turning it up, even though slapping guys in the head, which almost

02:42cost you a punt and giving the ball back to the Steelers, you live with that because he

02:46absolutely wrecked the team's entire game plans.

02:4927-13 yesterday, built on, we're going to bully the bully yesterday in our own building.

02:55I was so impressed to see that.

02:57Now I said once again, once they beat the Baltimore Ravens, I thought the Eagles would

03:01wind up with home field advantage, and the Eagles had finally arrived on the scene.

03:05These games, the way they're winning, saying, we want to run the ball game, we can do that.

03:08Oh, you want us to pass the ball against you?

03:10We can do that as well.

03:11The most well-rounded team in the NFL?

03:14It's the Philadelphia Eagles.
