Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell got the start in Dublin, Ireland against the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. He may have been preparing for it, but it wasn’t made official until less than two hours before the game when the Steelers ruled RB Jaylen Warren out. And boy, did Gainwell respond. He helped lead the Steelers’ run game to their first 100-plus yard day in 2025 with 19 carries for 99 yards and two touchdowns. He even chipped in six catches for 35 yards.
It was a career day for Gainwell. QB Aaron Rodgers called him “an absolute baller” after the game.
