Pride of Detroit
The NFL kicks off its 2025 international games slate on Sunday morning with a game over in Dublin, Ireland—and it has some intrigue for Detroit Lions fans.
The 2-1 Pittsburgh Steelers take on the 2-1 Minnesota Vikings in an intraconference game that could have a significant impact on the NFC North. The Vikings have had an up-and-down start to the season, with quarterback J.J. McCarthy looking inconsistent before suffering an injury that will cost him his second game on Sunday. But that defense still looks dangerous, and that could give Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offense some trouble.
Currently, the NFC North is just as close as most expected this year. Here are the standings through three weeks:
t-1. Green Bay Packers: 2-1
t-1. Detroit Lions: 2-1
t-1. Minnesota Vikings: 2-1
4. Chicago Bears: 1-2
The Steelers and Vikings face off at 9:30 a.m. ET, well before the Lions take the field against the Cleveland Browns at 1 p.m. ET. So, if you all want to chat during the international game, feel free to jump down to the comment section and offer your thoughts on the Steelers vs. Vikings game.
