Steelers star Darius Slay's wife posts Eagles love note before Cowboys opener

Pittsburgh Steelers fans have always had extreme cockiness in their Pennsylvania cross-state rivalry with their Philadelphia Eagles peers, because well, it was six Super Bowls to zero.

Thus, it wasn't really ever a rivalry. More just pity.

But lately, the dynamic has shifted since the Eagles have won the last two Super Bowls, including last season's rout over the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22.

Cornerback Darius Slay was an integral part of the secondary throughout his Philly tenure, and his wife Jennifer, and their five children, grew to love the city of Brotherly Love. She loved it so much, in fact, she was crushed when the six-time Pro Bowler was released by the Birds, which had been expected.

Not sure if you would call it NFL WAG cheating, but as the Eagles open up their Super Bowl-defense season against their hated NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, Mrs. Slay took to X to say how much she missed Philly.

"We don't play Philly this season so I can say this I think," Mrs. Slay wrote. "No disrespect to current team, seriously I have to say it..." with a crying emojis, implying that she misses Philly.

We don’t play Philly this season so I can say this I think …no disrespect to current team, seriously but I have to say it….😭😢……………

Then immediately posted afterwards, "GO BIRDS! Goodluck [sic] to ya'll [sic]! Will always love and support the crew!," with Eagles-themed heart emojis and an eagle, naturally.

GO BIRDS! Goodluck to ya’ll! Will always love and support the crew! 🤞🏽💚🖤🦅

The Steelers haven't won a Super Bowl since 2009, when Ben Roethlisberger won his second one and a much younger Mike Tomlin won his only Lombardi Trophy. Bill Cowher won it with Big Ben in 2006.

The Eagles won their first Super Bowl in 2017, when Big D**k Nick Foles out-gunned the NFL GOAT Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, 41-33, in one of the most shocking outcomes in Super Bowl history.

Speaking of recent bragging rights, the Eagles used to be the Cowboys' un-rival since it had been five Super Bowls to zero. Now it's five to two. Again, while Dallas has owned the offseason headlines with the Micah Parsons blockbuster and the Netflix hit docuseries, "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys," Philly has been the exponentially more successful NFL franchise in the last decade.

As far as Mrs. Slay's comments, her husband might have some explaining to do in the Steelers locker room. Luckily they have the great veteran presence of Aaron Rodgers.

Oh wait.
