It’s known for playing on Pittsburgh’s North Shore during Steelers home games, but for one day at least, Renegade by Styx went international.
In their Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, the Steelers played Renegade early in the fourth quarter, right after a 33-yard Chris Boswell field goal made it a 24-6 game.
It set off a frenzied moment at Croke Park as many of the 74,512 in attendance waved their Terrible Towels and belted out the lyrics to the popular song.
And players like Steelers safety DeShon Elliott took notice.
“That Renegade in Ireland, well, since my — I’ve only been here for a year — but that was like top three Renegades because it was so fucking loud,” Elliott said Thursday on the Christian Kuntz Podcast.
