The Philadelphia Eagles eclipsed the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-13 to extend their undefeated streak to seven games on Sunday.

The Steelers did well to keep up with the Eagles early, but were ultimately unable to contain Philadelphia’s imposing offence.

Wide receiver AJ Brown completed a first-half hat-trick with back-to-back touchdowns in the second quarter to blow open a 21-10 lead, before Miles Sanders and Zach Pascal also found the end zone in the second half.

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for four touchdowns and 285 yards in another impressive performance, while Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett finished with 191 yards and an intercept.
