The Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings kick off the European NFL slate with the first-ever regular-season game in Dublin, Ireland. For Pittsburgh, it marks their first international appearance since 2013, when they ironically faced Minnesota in a 34-27 loss.
Both teams come into the game coming off wins, but they earned them in very different ways. The Vikings dominated the Bengals from start to finish, while the Steelers had to pull away late against the Patriots despite forcing five turnovers. With contrasting styles and plenty at stake, this matchup presents real challenges for the Steelers.
