Steelers vs Vikings in Dublin: Inactives and Live Updates Featuring Aaron Rodgers and Carson Wentz Kicking Off Sunday

Minnesota Vikings Clash with Pittsburgh Steelers in Historic Dublin NFL Game
Historic NFL Showdown at Croke Park in Dublin
The 2025 NFL season sees an exciting international fixture as the Minnesota Vikings and the “host team” Pittsburgh Steelers face off at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. Both teams are entering the matchup with a 2-1 record, having recently secured victories in Week 3. This game marks a significant milestone as the first regular-season NFL contest in Ireland.
Steelers Dominate Early Stages
While fans settled in on this early Sunday, it was evident the Pittsburgh Steelers adapted swiftly to the overseas setting. With running back Jaylen Warren surprisingly inactive due to a knee issue, Kenny Gainwell stepped up, scoring a short touchdown to secure an early 7-3 advantage for the Steelers.
Pittsburgh quickly capitalized on this momentum. A strategic slant pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to DK Metcalf saw Metcalf evade defenders on an impressive 80-yard run, pushing the lead to 14-3.
Challenges for Vikings’ Quarterback Wentz
For the Minnesota Vikings, quarterback Carson Wentz faced a challenging test against the formidable Steelers’ defense. Taking up the mantle from JJ McCarthy in Week 3, Wentz encountered early hurdles with multiple sacks. Nonetheless, the potential return of wide receiver Jordan Addison, alongside star Justin Jefferson, offers a significant opportunity to rally.
