Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the team's current trip to Ireland and what the fans and club might hope to get out of it.
There will be one less home game at Acrisure Stadium in 2025, because the Black and Gold are playing this week's home date in Dublin, Ireland against the Minnesota Vikings, their once-in-eight-years mandated trip to fulfill their obligations of the NFL CBA.
But are the fans winners or losers in that deal -- and does it depend on how things go after this first one-off trip? Alan breaks it down.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's whether the team should be expecting more from DK Metcalf.
