The Story in 60 Seconds

The New Orleans Saints suffered a 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris, largely due to Steelers running back Jaylen Warren's dominant ground performance. Warren rushed for 101 yards on 18 carries, averaging 5.6 yards per carry, while adding 12 yards per reception. Running back Rico Dowdle also contributed 86 combined yards as Pittsburgh collected 10 of their 20 first downs on the ground.

Writer Molly Bauer notes that while the Saints' pass defense performed respectably by recording three sacks and limiting Aaron Rodgers, the defense failed to force any turnovers. With New Orleans falling to a 2-5 record heading into their bye week, Bauer emphasizes that the team must fix its recurring struggles against opposing rushing attacks.
