The Steelers defeated the Saints 19-10 in Paris, fueled by Jaylen Warren's strong performance.
PARIS, Oct 25: The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the New Orleans Saints 19-10 in the NFL’s first regular season game in France at Stade de France. Jaylen Warren was instrumental in securing this victory, demonstrating his skills on the field.
Warren’s contributions included rushing for 101 yards on 18 carries and making three catches for 36 yards, marking his fourth game with over 100 total yards in the past five outings. The Steelers set the tone early, with Warren gaining 43 yards during the opening drive, which culminated in a 28-yard field goal by Chris Boswell.
Although the Saints managed to tie the game at 10 with a touchdown from quarterback Tyler Shough to Devaughn Vele early in the second quarter, the Steelers quickly regained momentum. Aaron Rodgers connected with Darnell Washington for a touchdown, giving the Steelers a 13-10 lead just before halftime.
A key moment came in the third quarter when Payton Wilson intercepted a pass from Shough, stopping a potential scoring drive and helping preserve the Steelers’ lead. Boswell added a 38-yard field goal following the interception, extending Pittsburgh’s lead to 16-10.
The Steelers maintained their defensive strength, allowing only 18 rushing yards throughout the game and recording multiple pressures on Shough. Pittsburgh’s defense made critical plays, including a forced fumble by Jamel Dean and a sack from T.J. Watt.
Despite Shough’s solid performance, completing 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards, including targeting Chris Olave ten times, the Saints struggled to capitalize on their opportunities. The Steelers’ defense, known for their opportunistic play, effectively thwarted New Orleans’ drives.
With this victory, the Steelers improved their record to 5-2, while the Saints fell to 2-5. The game marked a significant moment for the Steelers as they became the first team to win regular-season games in both Dublin and Paris.
