MICROPHONES were able to capture PHILADELPHIA Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts’ words to Pittsburgh Steelers signal-caller Russell Wilson after the Week 15 matchup.
Hurts’ Eagles got the best of Wilson’s Steelers in the battle of Pennsylvania, winning the home contest by a score of 27-13 on Sunday.

Philadelphia extended their winning streak to 10 with the win.
The 26-year-old Hurts recorded 290 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 45 rushing yards, and a score on the ground.
After the game, a clip showed him catching up with Wilson, who led a Steelers offense to just 163 yards of total offense.
The two met at midfield and spoke to one another.
Hurts shared a message with the 36-year-old Wilson.
“I watched you my whole childhood,” he said to the nine-time Pro Bowler.
“You paved the way.”
Hurts continued to talk to Wilson but, unfortunately, the rest of the comments were hard to pick up due to the noise inside of Lincoln Financial Field.
The video then showed Hurts and Wilson embracing one more time and walking off the field.
Wilson finished with just 14 of 22 completed passes for 128 yards and a touchdown in the losing effort.
His only touchdown came on a nine-yard pass to tight end Pat Freirmuth in the second quarter.
Luckily for Wilson, his Steelers still clinched a postseason berth after the Indianapolis Colts‘ loss to the Denver Broncos.
It’s possible the Eagles and Steelers could face each other again this season, but it would have to be Super Bowl 59.
Philly has an impressive 12-2 record for the year while Pittsburgh isn’t too shabby at 10-4.
Wilson has enjoyed a resurgent year, throwing 13 passing touchdowns against three interceptions in eight starts.
Hurts has 18 passing touchdowns against five interceptions and an NFL-best 14 rushing touchdowns.
The Eagles will take on the home team division rival Washington Commanders in Week 15.
The Steelers, meanwhile, will travel to face the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
