The part of me that likes watching the Steelers win football games is enjoying having Aaron Rodgers back.
The part of me that wonders who the hell will quarterback this team next year and what the future looks like beyond '26?
I try to ignore that part.
This week’s “3-and-Out” article looks at how the Steelers dominated the Saints in the trenches in their 16-10 win on Sunday in Paris:

Watch these reps from Yayha Black (94), lined up to the left of center.
1st: slants across the C’s face, eats a double and keeps the OL from climbing to Queen, who is unblocked to the RB.
2nd: slants again, rips free, drops the RB for a loss.
This is some Casey Hampton stuff.
The Steelers broke out an old favorite on Sunday -- the Jumbo package -- and it was the catalyst for their best rushing performance of the season in a 16-10 win over the Saints.
Here's a breakdown on how Jumbo unlocked the run game. @SteelCNetwork
It's Monday, which means Game Balls here at The Call Sheet. Today, we honor the Dolphins for winning, the Vikings for refusing to lose, some "firsts" across the league, and Tom Brady and Dan Campbell for simply not giving a damn.

From their own 24. In a tie game. With five minutes left to play.
Being a Lions fan must be a wild ride…
One of the most surprising factors in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over the Saints today was Aaron Rodgers' composure in the pocket and his ability to extend plays as things collapsed around him.
Here are some of the most impactful plays Rodgers made with his legs:
Kevin Smith retweeted
New on @AthlonSports: Jaylen Warren of the @steelers has become one of the NFL's best backs in the 2026 season, and what he did in Paris proved it all over again. How did this happen, and what makes Warren so great? athlonsports.com/nfl/jaylen-…
Top, the walk-off sack from Jalen Ramsey last week vs TB.
Bottom, Patrick Queen’s sack today that forced a punt on the Saints final drive.
Same stunt from Patrick Graham on what became the last offensive play by both teams.
Great timing from the Steelers DC. @SteelCNetwork
PIT 16, NO 10 -- Final
Offense:
148 rushing yards.
Warren - 21 touches, 137 yards.
Dowdle - 15 touches, 86 yards.
33 called passes, 30 runs.
Loved the gameplan.
Defense:
Shough goes 30-38 passing but NO scores just 10 points. The bend-don't-break approach prevails again...
Rodgers creating with his legs yet again! Steelers convert on 3rd-and-6 to take the clock down to the two-minute warning.
His mobility today has been invaluable to the offense.
Patrick Graham dialing up the same stunt that produced Jalen Ramsey’s walk-off sack last week vs TB. Patrick Queen gets home on this one to force a Saints punt midway through the 4Q.
Graham has shown a good feel for when to bring his pressures late in games.
Rodgers again extending a play with his legs, and a great grab by Brandon Smith to convert another third down. Steelers are 9-of-13 on 3D after ranking among the worst in the league the first six weeks. Big reason they lead by six heading to the fourth.
Nice fire drill operation by the Steelers to get three before halftime.
Run game is clicking. Hoping for less low % fade balls to Metcalf, more Warren and Dowdle in 2H.
On defense, going to need an answer for the Saints exploiting zone coverage with RB leaks and crossers.
Another communication error in coverage by the Steelers. Ramsey and Queen are late on the switch and Kamara leaks out for a big 3rd-down conversion.
Saints diced up the Steelers with crossers and horizontal routes on that drive.
Aaron Rodgers extending plays with his legs has been one of the biggest surprises with the Steelers offense this year. He didn’t do much of this last season. It’s paying big dividends.
