Here’s the latest Steelers at Eagles highlights, recap and score results info for their 2016 NFL Week 3 game at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

On Sunday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Steelers will visit the Philadelphia Eagles at FedExField for a Week 3 game off the 2016 NFL schedule. Both teams have been off to a hot start, going 2-0 for their early seasons. There are still questions over whether or not Carson Wentz will continue at the rate he’s started, and the Steelers will certainly provide a good measuring stick for that.

Coming into this game, the Steelers have defeated the Redskins in Week 1 by double-digits. They followed that with a 24-16 victory over their rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals. Ben Roethlisberger has played great so far and should have no issues against the Eagles. Of note, one of the league’s best receivers, Antonio Brown, had a relatively quiet day. That could be a major alert for the Eagles to take notice of with an explosive performance possibly coming their way.

The questions with Philadelphia come only due to the opposition they’ve defeated. They took down a lowly Cleveland Browns team in search of its offense for Week 1. The Eagles followed with an impressive Monday Night Football win over the Bears in Chicago. They’ll be back home, but against an in-state rival. The two teams don’t meet often, but it won’t be surprising to see a few Steelers fans in the crowd.

Game time for this Week 3 matchup is set for 4:25 p.m. Eastern Time in Philadelphia on Sunday, September 25.

Game highlights will be updated below as soon as they become available.

Highlights

NOTE: Highlights will go here as they happen live.

Three Stars of the Game

Here are three players to keep an eye on as possible stars of the game.

Ben Roethlisberger

Big Ben has continued to play well through his first two games. Steelers fans take every start as a positive sign as injuries have hit one of the league’s top veteran QBs several times in past seasons. With Roethlisberger healthy and finding his targets, he should be on track for another star performance. He should also have another receiver back. Markus Wheaton is expected to play in Sunday’s game, another positive for Big Ben.

DeAngelo Williams

This particular game will be the final game that sees DeAngelo Williams as the team’s main running back. That changes next game, as Le’Veon Bell finally returns from suspension. With Williams still the beneficiary of much of the work on the ground, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him get things done in Philadelphia.

Antonio Brown

Strictly from a bounce back performance, if one guy was to have one, it would be Antonio Brown. He finished with just 39 yards against the Bengals making only four of his receptions out of the 11 times he was targeted. Expect him to be one of the stars of the game for a Steelers team that has a favorable matchup here.

Odds

The Steelers first opened with the point spread at 5-1/2 points in their favor. Throughout the week the line moved down as low as 3-1/2 points in the Steelers’ favor at many sports books.

Next Week

In Week 4, the Philadelphia Eagles will have their bye week. The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Kansas City Chiefs for Sunday Night Football beginning at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
