Quick Summary

NFL fans criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers for their fashion choices before a game against the New Orleans Saints in Paris, where the team’s quarterbacks and coaching staff wore suits reminiscent of the "Peaky Blinders" television series. The Steelers acknowledged this with a humorous post on X, linking to the British show's iconic phrase "By order of the Peaky Blinders." Despite the controversy over their outfits, the game proceeded without incident at 9:30 a.m. ET, and the Steelers held a narrow 13-10 lead at halftime.
