DUBLIN — Kenneth Gainwell ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns and the Pittsburgh Steelers held on to beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 on Sunday in Ireland’s first regular-season NFL game.

DK Metcalf had five catches for 126 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown for the Steelers, who improved to 3-1 going into their bye week.

The Steelers victory gave quarterback Aaron Rodgers his first international win and capped a Rooney family homecoming in front of a decidedly pro-Steelers crowd of 74,512 at Croke Park. Rodgers was 18-for-22 for 200 yards and the touchdown to Metcalf.

Carson Wentz, making his second consecutive start for the injured J.J. McCarthy, was 30-for-46 for 350 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Vikings (2-2).
