Pittsburgh went into New Orleans and left no doubt, rolling to a 28-10 win over the Saints in Week 7. The Steelers controlled the game on both sides of the ball and never let the home crowd back into it. It's the kind of road result that steadies a season early, and it sends New Orleans back to the drawing board after a one-touchdown afternoon. Aaron Rodgers steered the Pittsburgh offense with 198 passing yards, spreading the ball around and leaning on DK Metcalf, who paced all receivers with 80 yards. Rico Dowdle was the most productive back on the field with 72 rushing yards, giving the ground game enough push to keep the chains moving. On the other side, Tyler Shough accounted for the only offensive touchdown pass of the day for New Orleans, but the Saints could never string together the drives they needed. Pittsburgh's balance was the difference, and the four-touchdown output reflected it. Defensively, this one belonged to T.J. Watt, whose two sacks kept the Saints' pocket collapsing at the worst possible moments and repeatedly stalled New Orleans out of scoring range. Jonas Sanker did what he could for the Saints, leading all tacklers with eight stops, but a defense that busy is usually a defense on the field too long. The turning point came as Pittsburgh's pass rush took over and the offense answered with points, turning a manageable deficit into an 18-point hole. From there, New Orleans was chasing, and the Steelers were content to close it out.
