- The first NFL regular-season game in Paris had the kind of headline that writes itself: Aaron Rodgers, on an international stage again, adding another line to a career already packed with them.
- But the Steelers left France with something more familiar than spectacle — a 16-10 win built on the ground, on defense, and on a game plan that kept New Orleans chasing.
- Rodgers became the first quarterback to play in an international game in a different country three straight years, and the Paris trip also came with another piece of recognition back home: he was named Steelers Player of the Week.
- From the start, the Steelers controlled the trenches and carved out rushing lanes for Jaylen Warren while shutting down the Saints’ ground game.
- Warren handled 18 carries for 101 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt, and added three catches for 36 yards.
- The result moved Pittsburgh to 5-2 and kept the Steelers on track in a season that has them chasing a 23rd consecutive non-losing year.
