Summary
Sunday’s Week 7 matchup kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, with Pittsburgh entering 4-2 and New Orleans 2-4.
Pittsburgh brings the sturdier profile: a plus-3 turnover margin, 21.3 points allowed per game and Aaron Rodgers’ 1,487 yards and 12 touchdown passes through six games.
New Orleans still has offensive punch, averaging 25.3 points and ranking eighth on third down, but its defense has allowed 29.7 points per game and the Saints are 0-3 in home games.
The matchup turns on whether Tyler Shough—1,443 yards and 12 touchdowns—can avoid a Steelers secondary with 6 interceptions, and whether the Saints’ 15 sacks can exploit a Pittsburgh line that has allowed 19.
The game goes ahead as the NFL’s first Paris regular-season contest despite recent unrest in France, with added security already put in place.
