## Resource

Step into one of the most extraordinary chapters in NFL history—when the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers merged to form the Steagles during World War II. Discover how wartime necessity, depleted rosters, and a nation in crisis brought together two rivals for a single unforgettable season. We’ll break down the key games, star players like Jack Hinkle and Tony Bova, the drama between co-coaches Greasy Neale and Walt Kiesling, and how this unlikely team gave Pennsylvania its first taste of football unity. Relive the 5-4-1 season that became the Eagles’ first winning record and a symbol of American resilience.
