The Eagles defense came up with five turnovers in the preseason opener last Thursday against the Buccaneers. They did their best to come up with a repeat performance in Week 2 this Thursday.
Four first-half interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown by Nolan Carroll, helped lead the Eagles to a second-straight win by a score of 17-0 over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Scoring Summary
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | T | |
| Eagles | 7 | 3 | 7 | 0 | 17 |
| Steelers | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The Eagles opened the scoring midway through the first quarter as Carroll jumped in front of a Landry Jones pass and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown.
The defense would come up with four interceptions in the first half off Jones and turned the last one into another score as Cody Parkey connected on a 40-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in the first half.
The second half opened with an 87-yard drive by the Eagles, capped off by a five-yard touchdown run by Kenjon Barner.
The Eagles defense held the Steelers off the board the rest of the way. Despite not putting together a strong offensive drive for the rest of the game, it was the defense that starred in the win.
