Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers managed only a field goal against the Eagles in Week 3.The energy from the fans, we feel it, defensive end Brandon Graham said. It was electric in the beginning. I felt that energy and I think it carried over as soon as we started the game.On the road, its a different story for Philadelphia (5-4). The Eagles are 1-4 and have a difficult game coming up at Seattle (6-2-1).Its going to be tough because were going into a hostile environment, the 12th Man, Graham said. We just have to make sure we keep going with the same intensity that we have at home games and take it out on away games. The teams that are going to win in this league are the ones that can win away.The Eagles have outscored opponents 108-38 at home. They began the season with a 29-10 victory over the Browns. They whipped Pittsburgh 34-3. They handed Minnesota its first loss, 21-10, in Week 7.But the defensive performance against Atlanta (6-4) was most impressive.The Falcons were held to 303 yards, 11 first downs, and scored less than half their season average. They were 2 for 11 on third downs, despite facing a banged-up secondary.Eagles starting cornerback Nolan Carroll left in the first half after sustaining a concussion. Leodis McKelvin, the other starter, began the game in a backup role because hes been hobbled by a hamstring injury.

The Eagles already lost Ron Brooks, their starting slot cornerback, for the season in the win over the Vikings.Seventh-round pick Jalen Mills has filled in nicely. He helped contain Julio Jones, who had 10 catches for 135 yards.We take pride in our defense and knowing that Atlanta is a great team, preparation was everything, safety Rodney McLeod said.

As Mancini was questioned on Saturday after losing to Wigan about the apparent Pellegrini approach, Citys media officer interjected to say "reportedly" but wouldnt deny the report when pushed to do so. "I dont know why the club didnt stop this," Mancini then said. While initially claiming to know that the story in Spanish newspaper AS was untrue, Mancini was less sure when pressed by reporters. "If its true we will see in the next two weeks," the Italian said. "If its not true, you wrote a lot of stupid things for six months. If its true, Im stupid because I didnt understand anything about this. "But I am sure I work with serious people and Im sure I did a good job, even if we lost this final. Two weeks, maybe one week. Next Sunday. The season will finish. I will know if its true or not." Mancini replaced Mark Hughes at City in 2009 under similarly blurred circumstances. At his first media conference, Mancini admitted under questioning that he had met chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak about the job two weeks before Hughes was fired. When asked on Saturday if Al Mubarak had assured him about his futuree, Mancini responded: "I cant answer this.dddddddddddd "In football anything can happen," Mancini added after the 1-0 loss to Wigan. Earlier Saturday, Pellegrini conceded he was unlikely to remain with Malaga next season amid financial problems at the Spanish club. "Everyone would prefer to stay but unfortunately, the circumstances we are in dont allow that," Pellegrini said. "The future is uncertain for all of us, the coaching staff and players have discussed our situation," the Chilean added City will end the season without a trophy, having conceded the Premier League title to Manchester United, and exited the Champions League in the group stage for the second successive season. Mancini blames Abu Dhabi-owned Citys hierarchy for not strengthening the squad enough after the club won the English title for the first time in 44 years last May. "I think that our mistakes started in the last market because we didnt get enough for our team," Mancini said. "And when you win the Premier League after so many years the second year is more difficult. We lost some players in key moments -- we lost Yaya (Toure) for a month. "We had a lot of problems this season and I think, with all the problems we had, we did a good season. And when you arrive in the final and you dont play well you can lose a game." ' ' '
