For the first time this season the NFL is in Europe and on Sunday, Sept. 28, the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park in Dublin.

Fans looking to watch can do so for free by using DirecTV, which offers a free trial. FuboTV offers up to $30 off your first month.

Both of these teams are 2-1 after winning Week 1, losing in Week 2 and then winning last week.
The Vikings had backup quarterback Carson Wentz behind center, but it was another former Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion who stole the show against the Cincinnati Bengals as Isaiah Rodgers had the game of his life, forcing two fumbles, returning one 66 yards for a touchdown, and getting an interception he also returned 87 yards for a score. Wentz tossed a pair of scores on the offensive end while Jordan Mason rushed for 116 yards and two scores on 16 carries and Justin Jefferson made five catches for 75 yards in a 48-10 thrashing.
The Steelers had to work much harder for their second win of the season, taking down the New England Patriots 21-14, thanks to a game-winning touchdown catch by Calvin Austin III with 2:16 remaining in the game. Aaron Rodgers went 16-for-23 for 139 yards, two scores and an interception as the offense had just 203 yards while the defense surrendered 369 yards to the Patriots, but recovered four fumbles and got an interception to keep the game close enough for the offense to finish the job late. The first fumble came on the opening drive of the game and the interception happened in the end zone with New England on the Pittsburgh two-yard-line right before the end of the first half. The Patriots had another red zone turnover right after intercepting Rodgers to open the second half when Cam Heyward knocked the ball loose and kept the Patriots off the board on their second straight goal line opportunity. T.J. Watt forced another fumble the very next New England possession and then Nick Herbig had a sack fumble with the score tied, setting up the game-winning drive.
