As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for their Week 15 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it seems that their opponent will be dealing with a crucial absence. According to reports, Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is likely to miss the game due to a hamstring injury.

While Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has not completely ruled out Pickens' chances of playing, he did use the word "doubtful" to describe the receiver's status. This news comes after Pickens sat out in Week 14 due to the same injury.

As the Eagles are currently the least crucial opponent on the Steelers' remaining schedule, it seems like a wise decision for Pittsburgh to play it safe with Pickens' recovery. After all, they were able to defeat the Cleveland Browns without him last week. However, his absence is still a significant blow to the Steelers' offense.

Pickens leads the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and first downs, with a considerable margin between him and the next closest player. Without him on the field, the Steelers' wide receiver group will have to step up to fill the void.

Despite their long history of struggling against Russell Wilson, the Eagles' defense is at its best going into this game. And with the possibility of Wilson missing his top weapon, now is the perfect time for the Eagles to finally defeat him.

The Eagles have faced Wilson numerous times in the past, and he has always been a thorn in their side. However, this time, they have a strong defense that can potentially limit his impact on the game. And with Pickens likely out of the picture, the Eagles' chances of winning have significantly improved.

It's time for the Eagles to take advantage of this opportunity and go out and beat the Steelers. With a strong defensive performance and a potentially weakened Steelers' offense, the Eagles have a real chance of coming out on top.
