"Kenneth Gainwell ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns and the Pittsburgh Steelers held on to beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 on Sunday in Ireland's first regular-season NFL game. DK Metcalf had five catches for 126 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown for the Steelers, who improved to 3-1 going into their bye week. The Steelers' victory gave quarterback Aaron Rodgers his first international win in front of a decidedly pro-Steelers crowd of 74,512 at Croke Park."
"However, Pittsburgh's win was tempered by the news that their backup quarterback, Skylar Thompson, was jumped and robbed on Friday night in Dublin. The NFL Network reported the 28-year-old had sustained minor injuries during the robbery. We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson on Friday night in Dublin, a Steelers spokesman said. We will have no further comment at this time as we are working with NFL security to gather more information regarding the incident."
