Leading the charge for Pittsburgh was Jahmyr Gibbs, who tore through the Saints' defense for an impressive 150 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Tyler Shough of the Saints put up a strong fight in the passing game, throwing for 198 yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the explosive Steelers offense, which also featured DK Metcalf racking up 93 receiving yards.
