How it went

Croke Park, 74,512 people, and Aaron Rodgers throwing an 80-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf on his 22-attempt afternoon — Dublin got the postcard version of the Steelers. Pittsburgh led 24–6 with eleven minutes left after Kenneth Gainwell's second short score and Chris Boswell's field goal, and then Carson Wentz threw the Vikings back into it: 350 yards on 46 attempts, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison both over 100, a Zavier Scott touchdown with a two-point pass, a Jalen Nailor touchdown with 2:08 left. Fifteen fourth-quarter points, still three short. The two Wentz interceptions were the game; Pittsburgh's zero turnovers on 313 yards of offense were the answer to them.
