Steelers beat Vikings in Dublin after Pittsburgh’s Thompson injured in robbery | NFL
Kenneth Gainwell ran 99 yards and two affected and the Pittsburgh Steelers stood to beat the Vikings of Minnesota 24-21 Sunday in the first NFL match of the regular season of Ireland.
DK Metcalf has achieved five catches for 126 yards, including a touch of 80 yards for the Steelers, who improved at 3-1 via their week off.
The Steelers’ victory gave the quarter-Arrière Rodgers his first international victory in a resolutely pro-Stelers of 74,512 in Croke Park at the quarter-Arrière Rodgers. Rodgers was 18 years old for 22 for 200 yards and the touch to Metcalf. Carson Wentz, making his second consecutive departure for the injured JJ McCarthy, was 30 for 46 for 350 yards with two affected and two interceptions for the Vikings (2-2).
However, Pittsburgh’s victory was tempered by the news that their rescue quarter, Skylar Thompson, was “sautéed and stolen” on Friday evening in Dublin. The NFL network reported that the 28 -year -old had undergone minor injuries during the flight.
“We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson Friday evening in Dublin,” said a Steelers spokesman. “We will no longer have comments at the moment because we are working with the safety of the NFL to collect more information concerning the incident.”
The NFL Players Association said it provided support to Thompson.
“The NFLPA actively collects more information and works to understand the complete circumstances surrounding what happened,” he said in a statement. “As always, our priority is the health and safety of our members of our players – especially since we continue to work on the protections of players and well -being while playing international games.”
