The Pittsburgh Steelers arrived in Paris on Friday after taking a redeye flight on Thursday to get to France. The New Orleans Saints, on the other hand, have been there since Monday to get better acquainted with the time change.
When speaking with the media on Friday, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made it clear that he would have liked for the Steelers to follow the Saints’ lead and get to France earlier in the week.
“I played in three countries now, and each of them we’ve left on Thursday early
evening,” Rodgers said via Mike DeFabo. “[It] would have been nice one time to come over on a Monday.”
The Steelers are becoming somewhat of a staple on the international schedule, as they defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin in 2025. With a win on Sunday, they will get to 5-2, and could finish the day as high as the No. 3 seed in the AFC.
