Steagles is the popular nickname for the team created by the temporary merger of two National Football League (NFL) teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, during the 1943 season. The teams were forced to merge because both had lost many players to military service due to World War II. After the season the merger was dissolved. The Eagles resumed their traditional operation while the Steelers merged with the Chicago Cardinals for the 1944 season, creating a team known as Card-Pitt.
