Eagles' fourth-quarter dominance vs. Steelers shows why they can win Super Bowl

With a fourth-quarter performance that suffocated the hope out of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles reminded the NFL world why they should be considered one of the favorites to get back to the Super Bowl.

Between a touchdown drive that ended within the first minute of the final quarter and a 21-play, 88-yard drive that ate up the final 10:29 of the contest, the Eagles never let the Steelers have any kind of realistic chance of making a comeback in what was a 27-13 statement win inside Lincoln Financial Field.

Taking over at their own 3-yard line with 10:29 left, a false start penalty pushed the Eagles back to the 2. If the Steelers were going to get back into the game, the defense was given a golden opportunity with field position to give Russell Wilson and the offense a chance to cut into the lead.

The Eagles, however, simply wouldn't let that happen. Between the passing of Jalen Hurts and the running of MVP hopeful Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia proved that it has the weapons to keep the opposing offense off the field when the game matters most.

While Philadelphia's passing game has been at the center of plenty of conversation this past week, it was the aerial attack that was the key to the Eagles' final and decisive drive of the night. Hurts connected on four passes of 10 yards or longer on the final drive, including a 21-yard connection to A.J. Brown on 3rd-and-6 that breathed life into the drive early on.

Philadelphia's final three drives of the night all milked the clock, keeping Wilson sidelined and the Steelers defense trying to guess what was coming next. In all, Philadelphia had the ball for 11:12 of the fourth quarter's 15 minutes.
