- Steelers beat the Saints 16-10 at Stade de France before 78,488 fans in Saint-Denis, the NFL's first regular-season game in France.
- Aaron Rodgers completed 19 of 30 passes for 212 yards and a 4-yard touchdown to Darnell Washington, reaching 540 career TD passes to sit alone in third, breaking his tie with Peyton Manning.
- DK Metcalf caught a 51-yard strike from Rodgers down to the New Orleans 4, a play NFL France called "quel caviar d'Aaron Rodgers."
- Jaylen Warren rushed for 101 yards and Rodgers scrambled for a key first down late in the fourth quarter as Pittsburgh (5-2) won its third straight game.
- Chris Boswell kicked all three field goals, including a 47-yarder after sprinting onto the field with 15 seconds left before halftime for a 13-10 lead.
- Payton Wilson intercepted Tyler Shough in the red zone in the third quarter on a pass intended for Chris Olave, and Patrick Queen sacked Shough on third down with under seven minutes left.
- Tyler Shough finished with 278 yards on 30 of 38 passes, one touchdown to Devaughn Vele and one interception, while New Orleans managed just 18 rushing yards and fell to 2-5.
Why it matters: New Orleans was held to 18 rushing yards, and Shough's 278 passing yards were not enough to offset Wilson's third-quarter red-zone interception, leaving the Saints at 2-5. Pittsburgh turned that turnover into field goals and a 16-10 win, while Rodgers reached 540 career touchdown passes and third place outright.
