5 instant reactions to the Steelers’ ugly overseas victory against the Saints

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Paris, making history as the first NFL teams to play a regular season game in France. Despite offensive struggles, the victory improved Pittsburgh's record to 5-2 on the season. Running back Jaylen Warren led the offense with 137 yards on 21 touches, while the defense limited the Saints to just 18 total rushing yards on 17 attempts.

Writer Shayne Kubas argues that Pittsburgh's offensive approach under Aaron Rodgers remains overly conservative and predictable. Kubas also notes concerns regarding the secondary, but highlights crucial defensive contributions from linebackers Payton Wilson, who secured an interception, and Patrick Queen, who recorded a vital late-game third-down sack against Saints quarterback Tyler Shough.
