Saints vs Steelers outlook
By: Jake Rajala
The New Orleans Saints will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris, France. It is the first NFL game in Paris. France is known for cafes and art. French is also known as my easiest class in high school.
The Steelers beat the Saints in their last showdown. Andy Dalton was the Saints QB and Kenny Pickett was the Steelers QB. In other words, it a battle between a washed up QB (Dalton) and a rookie QB (Kenny Pickett). Dalton hasn’t had a winning record since 2015. Pickett isn’t throwing his helmet at Myles Garrett (like Mason Rudolph), but he has failed to thrive in each of his four NFL seasons.
Flash forward to 2026, there are a couple of intriguing QBs. The 26 year old Tyler Shough may be old for a second year QB. Well, the 42 year old Aaron Rodgers is quite old for a veteran QB! Paris is known for having lots of gypsies. Hence, Rodgers should fit right in.
There will still be a couple of Jags games in Europe. Just as we witness the Cowboys play too many Thanksgiving games, we watch the Jags play over seas.
We witness the NFL games try to expand in popularity across the globe. It’s similar to Formula 1 be more popular in the U.S. The only bloody difference is that F1 races are a thousand dollars to attend!
Paris is much more classy and intriguing for NFL players than the likes of Las Vegas or Mexico City in my opinion. The Eiffel tower is one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in the world.
There aren’t many prominent French NFL players. The ones that stand out tend to be undrafted free agents.
