"The Vikings were already playing without left guard Donovan Jackson, who had surgery last week on his left wrist. In the process, the Steelers sacked Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz six times, hit him a total of 14 times and pressured him at a rate of 32%. Two of his passes were batted at the line of scrimmage and intercepted, and he also committed a key intentional grounding penalty under duress to derail the Vikings' final possession."

Center Ryan Kelly did not play in the second half because of a concussion, his second this season and at least the fifth of his NFL career, and right tackle Brian O'Neill departed with a knee injury.

The Minnesota Vikings entered the international trip with a depleted offensive line and suffered further losses in a 24-21 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Center Ryan Kelly left in the second half with his second concussion this season, and right tackle Brian O'Neill exited with a knee injury and was scheduled for an MRI. Left guard Donovan Jackson was already sidelined after recent wrist surgery. The Steelers sacked Carson Wentz six times, hit him 14 times and pressured him on 32% of dropbacks, resulting in batted passes, an interception and an intentional grounding penalty on the final possession.
