DUBLIN — The battle between the Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon at Croke Park was a part of history, marking the first time the NFL had ever hosted a regular-season game in Ireland.

The game itself was as frenetic as the energy from the 74,512 people in attendance.

After falling behind early, veteran quarterback Carson Wentz helped the Vikings mount a furious comeback in the final frame. It wasn’t enough, though, and the Vikings suffered a 24-21 loss to the Steelers.

The fact that the game featured the Vikings playing against future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers added another layer after they reportedly declined to sign him last spring, ultimately deciding to roll with young quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
