The NFL announced on Monday that the Week 11 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field has been moved to a 1 PM kickoff on CBS and SportsRadio 94WIP.

The Steelers, 6-2 after having won four straight games, come out of their Week 9 bye to travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals on Sunday Night Football in a battle that will determine first place in the AFC North before heading to Philadelphia. These two teams last met on December 15, 2024, a game which the Eagles won 27-13 to set a franchise record with their 10th straight victory. The Eagles have won the last 11 matchups of the intrastate rivalry played in Philadelphia dating back to 1966.

In Pittsburgh's last game, the Steelers dominated the Cleveland Browns by a score of 27-6, avenging a three-point loss to their division rivals in Week 4. Running back Jaylen Warren accounted for 143 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. With 998 scrimmage yards so far in 2026, Warren has the most by a Steelers player through eight games since James Conner had 1,085 scrimmage yards in 2018. The Steelers scored three rushing touchdowns against the Browns after posting just one through the first seven games.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has won four straight games for the first time since he left the Green Bay Packers in an April 2023 trade to the New York Jets. Rodgers has completed 60.8 percent of his pass attempts for 1,871 yards with 13 touchdowns against six interceptions. He has been sacked 23 times this season, and the Eagles are coming off a six-sack performance Sunday against the New York Giants.

Defensively, the Steelers rank fourth in points allowed (18.0 per game) as outside linebackers T.J. Watt (7.5 sacks, 23 QB pressures) and Alex Highsmith (3.5 sacks, 30 QB pressures) turn up the pressure on opposing quarterbacks. As a team, the Steelers are tied for third in the NFL with 26 QB sacks. Pittsburgh is just as tough against the run, allowing 83.9 yards per game, also third in the league.
