I watched a lot of NFL football this weekend and the Steelers vs. Eagles game stood out most to me for a few reasons:
1. The Eagles' defense was pitiful six days earlier against the Cowboys, but was dominant last night.
2. The Steelers had no answer for the quarterback rush or the blitz schemes, making the offensive line and the coaching staff look miserable.
3. Ben Roethlisberger had no chance with his line play and I’m amazed he kept his cool and wasn’t carted off on a stretcher.
4. Brian Dawkins made the most impressive play I saw all day: wrapping around the lineman and diving superman-style at Big Ben (parallel to the floor) and punching the ball out of his hands. He then recovered the fumble he forced.

When you put Dawkins up close to the line there is no doubt that ways heavy on a QB's mind, he will hurt you. He may have lost a step or two but the guy is still better than 80% of the safty's in the league. If the Birds are able to avoid serious injuries, watch out.

That was by far one of the best plays I have seen in a long time. Dawkins can still play, no matter what the critics say.
