The Eagles had some really good moments and displayed good energy during the first half against Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia exited the half leading 16-7, and here are five takeaways from that action.
Milton Williams is a game wrecker

Howie Roseman could end up looking like a genius for the selection of Williams.
Jalen Hurts efficient
If not for two drops, Hurts would have almost been perfect on the night. We highlighted his relationship with the tight ends and on the first drive, Hurts targeted both Goedert and Ertz.
Ok ok we’ve seen enough.
Super Bowl bound.

Nick Sirianni, Jonathan Gannon look comfortable in this element
Sirianni was aggressive on offense with both Hurts and Joe Flacco under center and he incorporated what Quez Watkins does best. Gannon utilized several different fronts and got Milton Williams involved early on.
Quez Watkins highlight reel
In a similar fashion to his performance against Arizona, Watkins took a normal bubble screen to the house.
He’s solidified his place on the roster and as a vital part of the Eagles scheme.

Tyree Jackson is a keeper

Howie Roseman will live to regret if he chooses to cut Jackson and he won’t last on the Eagles practice squad.
Jake Elliott has his swagger back
Elliott confidently hit from 47-yards and 50-yards among his three touchdowns.
