Steelers Players to Watch: Week 8 @ Eagles

The Steelers have a hard task this week of traveling into Philadelphia to take on the 6-0 Eagles. The Steelers have not won an away game against the Eagles since 10/24/1965.

The Steelers are entering this game at 2-5, but this team still has a lot of fight in them, and they are looking to capitalize on that. Even with the 2-5 record, four of the five losses have been by one score.

I could see this a possible breakout game for this offense with everyone counting them out. The Defense although beat up still put up a fight each game.

Let’s get into the players to watch.

22 Najee Harris, RB
11 Chase Claypool, WR
