Pittsburgh Steelers 27, Philadelphia Eagles 13
The Eagles offense moved the ball up and down the football field last night but they couldn’t put many points on the scoreboard last night. Donovan McNabb didn’t look too good as he completed 5 of 11 passes for 60 yards last night. Rookie QB Kevin Kolb played his best game of the pre-season so far as he completed 26 of 37 passes for 242 with 1 TD pass. Correll Buckhalter carried the bulk of the load in the running game with 10 carries for 43 yards (4.3 ypc). Rookies Tony Hunt (7 car, 36 yards) and Nate Ilaoa (5 car, 18 yards) both looked good running the football last night also. Tight end Lee Vickers was solid in catching 6 passes for 55 yards (9.2 avg) with 1 TD grab. The Eagles ran the football 30 times for 125 yards (4.2 ypc) and they completed 31 of 48 passes for 279 yards.
The defense didn’t look too sharp against the pass as the Steelers completed 18 of 32 passes for 322 yards. But, they did a good job slowing down the Steelers’ running game as they rushed for 76 yards on 23 carries (3.3 ypc).
