Pittsburgh outlasted Minnesota 24-21 in Ireland, moving to 3-1 as the bye week arrives. Kenneth Gainwell bolstered the ground game with 99 yards and two rushing TDs, while Aaron Rodgers connected with DK Metcalf for an 80-yard strike to spark the offense. The Steelers’ defense harassed Carson Wentz, notching six sacks and a pivotal stop to seal it. Rooney family pride and a pro-Steelers crowd framed a memorable international showcase and a confident, balanced Pittsburgh front looking ahead to Week 6.

Ben Roethlisberger labeled Pittsburgh's defense vanilla on Footbahlin, questioning why the unit hasn't deployed more unique pressures ahead of Week 4 in Ireland against Minnesota. He echoed Mike Tomlin's remarks about factors limiting pressure and floated ideas like corner blitzes from Jalen Ramsey and unconventional linebacker looks.

The exchange frames a potential scheme turn for Teryl Austin's unit, with fantasy implications across sacks, interceptions, and tackle opportunities. If Pittsburgh diversifies its packages, expect upticks for pass rushers and opportunistic defenders; misreads could invite big plays from a Vikings attack that thrives on perimeter threats.

As the Ireland showdown nears, fantasy managers will watch for signs of a more aggressive defense. A bold shift could tilt DFS upside for Steelers defenders and potentially depress Minnesota's scoring, depending on execution and game flow.
