Key storylines
The Eagles (2-7) host the Steelers (6-2) in Week 11.
Form check: the Eagles are on a 7-game losing streak and sit 4th in the NFC East, 3.5 games behind the Giants. The Steelers are on a 4-game winning streak and are 1st in the AFC North.
The Eagles are 2-7 and on their bye after a 19-11 home loss to the Giants. They've lost seven straight.
Joe Milton made his first Eagles start against the Giants. He was sacked seven times and led the team with 64 rushing yards.
Jalen Hurts is on injured reserve with deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs, and he's expected to miss the rest of the season. Doctors expect a full recovery.
Lane Johnson retired after Week 4, but the Eagles kept him on the 53-man roster so the dead money can be pushed into 2027 and 2028.
Ahead of the deadline, the Eagles traded Jordan Davis to Jacksonville, and they had already sent Cam Jurgens to Baltimore. They kept Woolen, Goedert, Baun, Dickerson, Hollywood Brown and Saquon Barkley.

Who's favored
Both ESPN's predictor and the line lean Steelers.
We don't make our own pick. These are ESPN's and the sportsbook's published numbers.
What is the win chance?
ESPN's matchup predictor, built on its Football Power Index. It simulates the game many times, and the percentage is how often each team wins. It is ESPN's number, not ours.
How do I read the line?
The point spread from a sportsbook. "GB -3" means the Packers are expected to win by about 3 points. The total (over/under) is the expected combined score of both teams.
