Longtime Steelers fan here: Today I'm rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles

The Steelers didn't make it to the playoffs this year, so I'm going with the team in green on the other side of our state.

Go Eagles! Pennsylvania Proud

The only one of the final 4 teams without one is the Bengals.
I like them, but I picked Philly & KC.
So, I guess I'm rooting for them so I don't look stupid.

It's what happens when you love the Steelers for over 50 years, as I have.

I couldn't root for the Packers either.
Geez, they've been rivals to the Bears for 35 years before I was even born!

But I was young enough that the Eagles quickly became my team when we moved to the Philly suburbs. Glad to have the support
