Steelers vs. Saints Week 7 Tracker
The Pittsburgh Steelers will make NFL history this week, as will their opponent, the New Orleans Saints. For the first time in the league's long existence, a regular season game will be played in France. Paris, to be exact. After nearly 20 years since the Dolphins and Giants played the first regular season game outside of North America, the NFL's international footprint grows larger every year.
As interesting as all of that is, the football played on the field is what really matters. Pittsburgh enters Week 7 with a 4-2 record, barely beating the Buccaneers 26-19 in overtime a week ago. The Saints, meanwhile, climbed to 2-4 after a bizarre 34-27 win over the Giants. Both teams have plenty of flaws they are hoping to correct as the season goes on, but the Steelers are favored for a reason.
