Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers keep on winning regardless of which side of the pond they are on.
On Sunday, Rodgers and company scored their fifth win of the season by taking down the New Orleans Saints at Stade de France in Paris to the tune of a 16-10 score.
Rodgers did not exactly have a great performance, but he did just enough to help his team defeat the Saints.
The future Pro Football Hall of Famer went 19/30 for 212 passing yards and a touchdown with zero interceptions, while getting sacked three times for a loss of 17 yards.
While Pittsburgh’s offense left so much to be desired, Rodgers enjoyed the trip abroad for an NFL game, especially because of the fans.
“For a long time in Green Bay, we never got to go overseas because Lambeau was such an incredible home field advantage,” the four-time NFL MVP said after the game, via Mark Maske of Front Office Sports.
“Green Bay was never going to give up a game. Then finally we did in ’22. And I’ve enjoyed it. You know, I said it earlier this week: I wish we could have come over and enjoyed the sights both in Ireland and in France for a little more time. But it’s great the way the game is growing. And I feel like the fans were into it today, for sure.”

Steelers QB Rodgers Tells a Story About a Fan in Paris
Rodgers also shared a brief story about a fan who may or may not have brought home a souvenir from Rodgers himself.
“It probably helps there’s so many Pittsburgh fans, you know, kind of telling them when to cheer and stuff, “Rodgers said.
“Actually I saw a couple [No.] 12 Green Bay jerseys and threw the ball at the end, walking off the field, right to one of the guys who was in it. And he dropped it. So I’m not sure if he got it back. I hope he did. … I thought that’d be a cool souvenir for a fan.”
Rodgers and company will be back on home soil for their next game, with the Cleveland Browns visiting Pittsburgh for a Week 8 matchup at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Nov. 1.
