Of all NFL teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been among the least frequent travelers for international games. The team’s loan sojourn outside of the US for a regular season game came in 2013, with a loss to the Vikings in London. As has been well-documented, the Steelers will make a second trip to foreign soil this September, and they’ll have a chance for some long-term revenge, as it is again the Vikings that they’ll be up against.
Of course, it is no surprise that the chance to play in Ireland turned the collective heads of the Rooney Family.
