Overview

  • Pittsburgh beat Minnesota 24-21 at Croke Park in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Ireland.
  • Center Ryan Kelly was ruled out with a concussion, his second this season and at least his fifth in the NFL, and Michael Jurgens replaced him.
  • Right tackle Brian O’Neill left with a knee injury; Kevin O’Connell said the medical focus is on the MCL and an MRI was scheduled Sunday night.
  • Already missing left guard Donovan Jackson, the reshuffled line allowed six sacks, 14 hits and two tipped-ball interceptions of Carson Wentz.
  • A play‑clock display workaround put the clock on a corner scoreboard, and a late delay‑of‑game on the final drive proved costly; the 2-2 Vikings stay overseas to face the Browns in London next week.
