Look, it's not like the Steelers haven't beaten anybody.

I will occasionally see here or read something like that, and it's just flat out not true.

But let's also not pretend that the biggest challenge isn't ahead.

Good afternoon to you.

Good Thursday afternoon.

I'm Dan Kovachvich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is the new double-shot show.

It comes your way every weekday afternoon.

Steelers versus Eagles Sunday at 4.25 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.

When that football flies, it'll begin the biggest challenge of the

2024 season for this football team. And no, I'm not talking about the gauntlets or the three

games and the Ravens and the Chiefs coming after that, although all of that's going to

accumulate. I'm just talking about the Eagles.

I believe that Philadelphia is the best team.

The Steelers, not just will have played to date, but will play all season.

I believe they're legitimately one of the three best teams in the entire NFL, along with Detroit and Buffalo.

And I believe that they just present so many positional or facet-based challenges

for what the Steelers do on both sides of the ball, that it's going to take an above and beyond,

not just effort, but above and beyond performance.

You're going to have to see guys just do things they don't normally do.

You're going to have to see more guys do that than you'd normally see in a single game.

And that's always asking a lot.
