French quarters: Saints feel at home in Paris and face Steelers in historic game
The New Orleans Saints have a lot riding on their showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France on Sunday. The Saints are the “home” team, have been here all week and have tried to enlist fans ahead of the historic event, the first NFL game in France. Plus, they need a win. The Saints (2-4) responded to criticism from team owner Gayle Benson by beating the New York Giants 34-27 to halt a three-game skid, even though they nearly blew a late lead.
They’d love to go into their bye week on back-to-back victories.
