Steelers vs Saints: Big takeaways from the win

On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in Paris in the NFL International Series. The win helped the Steelers improve to 5-2 but to be fair, the problems of recent weeks remain and this game is a product of going against an undermanned New Orleans team.

Here are our big takeaways from the win.

Game goes off without a hitch

Thankfully, the rioting and looting in areas of Paris were a safe distance from Stade de France and there were no reported incidents on site.

Jaylen Warren is an MVP candidate

At this point, there's no reason to leave running back Jaylen Warren out of the MVP conversation. He's the focal point of the offense on a 5-2 team and is on an absolute tear.

The pass rush is still a problem

Pittsburgh's pass rush is still stuck in neutral. Tyler Shough picked the secondary apart because he was under little duress and when he was pressured, it was because the secondary held and bought the pass rushers extra time.

Offensive line is doing all it can for Aaron Rodgers

Speaking of pass rush, it was another long day for the Steelers offensive tackles. Aaron Rodgers is too old and too slow to take these hits and while some of it falls on him, Pittsburgh's tandem of recent first-round picks must do better.
