What We're Looking For
PITTSBURGH - It's the big one (Elizabeth!). Of the four preseason games each NFL team plays, the third is the one that most closely resembles an actual NFL game. It's the mall Santa with a real white beard and glasses.
Opposing coaching staffs do some game-planning for this game instead of just running the same plays with each group on the depth chart. The starters play longer. Superstars whose former girlfriends just had a baby on one coast fly cross-country to be in uniform on the other coast for this one.
In his first preseason action, Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was statistically outstanding going 6 for 9 for 137 yards.
But that was against a Panthers defense that, in this preseason, has shown itself to have serious issues to iron out.
How will McNabb do tonight against an AFC defense? A good one in Pittsburgh.

well everyone there's 1 min. left to play and I think that the steelers have shown that their ready for the 2007 season. 27 - 13 da steelers rule tonight folks. big ben did a fabulous job, as did the famous steeler defence. McNabb did look smooth coming back from injuries but did only 60 yards tonight. eagles defence looked very good but not good enough for the black and gold... Steelers rule and eagles druled...
