"It was just a great trip. Obviously, a component of it being a great trip is doing the job, and thankfully we were able to do that. We made it a little more entertaining than maybe it should have been, but the Vikings had a lot to do with that. That group's got a lot of fight. They're well coached. But today was just a fun atmosphere, good to get a win."
"We definitely had a chip on our shoulder. Mike T [Tomlin] before last night gave a big speech on the importance of the Rooney family here in Ireland, Mr Rooney and his ambassadorship here and how important this game means to their family. We take a lot of pride in that, and to go out and play Steeler football was huge,"
A sold-out game at Croke Park marked a first-of-its-kind NFL event in Ireland, with the Vikings rallying from a 21-6 deficit to challenge the Steelers late. TJ Watt produced a crucial interception as part of a tense finish. Aaron Rodgers threw for 200 yards and a touchdown while managing the offense confidently. Coach Mike Tomlin praised the Irish reception, hospitality and accommodations and emphasized the club's connection to Ireland and the Rooney family's ambassadorship. Players highlighted pride in representing Steeler football. Pittsburgh improved to 3-1 and heads into the bye week with momentum and a lively atmosphere to remember.
