The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 at Croke Park. Backup quarterback Thompson, 28, was reportedly jumped and robbed in Dublin's Temple Bar in the early hours, with several men involved and his phone taken. He sustained minor injuries and was briefly hospitalised at St James' Hospital before being discharged. Gardaí said "no formal complaint has been made by any person at this time" and that preliminary inquiries produced "no further information to substantiate, or not, any report this incident involved a robbery." Steeler Nation reported no formal filing with Irish police and raised questions about timing and publicity. NFL insider Mike Florio suggested the league may have sought to preserve the celebratory atmosphere, and TJ Watt declined to comment.
