Steelers Defeat Saints 16-10 in NFL Paris Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the New Orleans Saints 16-10 on Sunday, with Jaylen Warren’s 101 rushing yards and a second-half defensive shutout providing the difference in the NFL Paris Game. Pittsburgh protected a narrow halftime lead, added the only points after the break and finished Week 7 at 5-2.

A crowd of 78,488 watched the regular-season matchup at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France. Although New Orleans was the designated home team, this was a neutral-site contest—and the Saints left it at 2-5 after failing to score over the final two quarters.

Steelers Make a Slim Lead Stand Up

Pittsburgh established a 3-0 advantage in the opening quarter before both offenses produced 10 points in the second. That left the Steelers ahead 13-10 at halftime, with neither side having created much separation on the scoreboard.

The third quarter supplied the final scoring change: Pittsburgh added three points to extend its advantage to 16-10. That margin mattered because New Orleans needed a touchdown rather than a field goal to move ahead. The Saints remained within one possession throughout the fourth quarter, but the tying score never arrived.

There was no fourth-quarter comeback and no overtime finish. Instead, Pittsburgh’s defining stretch was an entire scoreless second half for New Orleans. The Steelers also went without fourth-quarter points, making their ability to preserve the lead the central story of the finish.

Key Performers

Jaylen Warren, Steelers: His rushing line was 18 CAR, 101 YDS, the game’s leading total on the ground. Warren supplied Pittsburgh with a productive rushing option in a contest where every scoring opportunity carried extra weight. His touchdown total was not included in the supplied statistics.

Tyler Shough, Saints: The passing leader finished 30/38, 278 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT. Shough completed nearly four of every five attempts, but his efficient completion rate did not translate into enough points. His interception was a turnover on an afternoon when New Orleans had little margin for error; its timing and resulting field position were not supplied.

Alvin Kamara, Saints: Kamara led the game’s receivers with 7 REC, 57 YDS, giving Shough a frequently used target. His receiving touchdown total was not specified, so Shough’s touchdown pass cannot be attributed to him from these figures.

NerdSports Stat: Warren averaged 5.6 yards per carry, turning just 18 rushing attempts into the game’s only listed 100-yard individual performance.

What the Result Means

The available game summary does not identify individual red-zone stops, fourth-down attempts or the decisive late possession. What the quarter scores establish is clear: Pittsburgh won the second half 3-0, turning a three-point halftime edge into a six-point regulation victory.
