Quick Summary

NFL fans criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers for their fashion choices before a game against the New Orleans Saints in Paris, where the team’s quarterbacks and coaching staff wore suits reminiscent of the "Peaky Blinders" television series. The Steelers acknowledged this with a humorous post on X, linking to the British show's iconic phrase "By order of the Peaky Blinders." Despite the controversy over their outfits, the game proceeded without incident at 9:30 a.m. ET, and the Steelers held a narrow 13-10 lead at halftime.

AI analysis

Story summary

The New Orleans Saints lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-10 in the NFL's first regular-season game held in France on Sunday at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. Despite protests and unrest in Paris, the match proceeded as planned with heightened security measures. The Saints struggled with a paltry 18 yards rushing, contributing to their poor performance that leaves them with a 2-5 record for the season.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers of the Steelers moved past Peyton Manning on the all-time touchdown passing list during this game and threw one touchdown pass, bringing his career total to 540. The win secured the Steelers' third consecutive victory, improving their record to 5-2. Despite the successful outcome for Pittsburgh, concerns remain about the Saints’ performance, particularly their run game and overall team development under a young coaching staff. Coach Kellen Moore emphasized the need for evaluation and potential changes during their upcoming bye week. The match marked a historic moment in NFL history but also highlighted the logistical challenges of hosting an international game amidst civil unrest.
