Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth dressed in stylish suits and caps as they made their way into Stade de France outside Paris.

“By order of the Peaky Blinders,” the team wrote.
“Peaky Blinders” is famously a British historical crime drama featuring Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy and others. It takes place in Birmingham, England, and follows the gang navigating through the world after World War I.

The Steelers’ fashion sense may have been a little off and NFL fans took exception.
Still, the Steelers were looking to take home a victory in Paris against the New Orleans Saints. The NFL trudged on with the game despite concerns about the civil unrest raging at points in France and elsewhere across Europe.
Kickoff occurred at 9:30 a.m. ET without any issues.
Pittsburgh took a 13-10 lead into the half.
