The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints in the first regular-season NFL game played in Paris, France, on October 16, 2023.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made history during the game, surpassing Peyton Manning's record for the third-most touchdown passes in NFL history.
Rodgers' achievement came as part of a strong performance, contributing significantly to the Steelers' win. The game marked a milestone for the NFL, as it was the first regular-season match to be held outside of North America.
The atmosphere in Paris was electric, with fans from both teams creating a lively environment. The game was played at the Stade de France, which has a capacity of over 80,000 spectators.
The Steelers' victory was hard-fought, with both teams displaying strong defensive plays throughout the match. The Saints put up a tough challenge, but the Steelers' offense, led by Rodgers, ultimately proved decisive.
The game was part of the NFL's ongoing efforts to expand its global footprint, with Paris being the latest city to host a regular-season match. The NFL has previously held games in London as part of its International Series.
