Big Dill Sports coming to you from the Emerald Isle, where brunch ball turned into a full-on banger at Croke Park. In front of 74,512, the Steelers outlasted the Vikings 24–21, sending the Terrible Towels on a victory lap through Dublin. History on the side, too — this was Ireland’s first regular-season NFL game, and the scene delivered. (espn.com)

Pittsburgh set the early tone with efficiency and a haymaker. Aaron Rodgers (18/22, 200 yards, 1 TD) worked the underneath stuff, and then uncorked an 80-yard moonshot to DK Metcalf (5 catches, 126 yards, 1 TD) that had the GAA posts blushing. Kenneth Gainwell (19 carries, 99 yards, 2 TD; 6 catches, 35 yards) punched in a goal-line score before half, and when Chris Boswell’s field goal made it 24–6 in the fourth, it felt like curtains.

But Minnesota packed some late drama in their carry-on. Carson Wentz (30/46, 350 yards, 2 TD) kept firing — carving up chunk plays to Justin Jefferson (10 for 126) and Jordan Addison (4 for 114, including an 82-yard burst) — and the Vikes ripped off 15 straight behind a slick Wentz dime to Zavier Scott (17-yard TD + two-point to Jalen Nailor) and a Nailor goal-line snag to make it 24–21 with 2:08 left. The Steelers’ defense, sparked all day by heat from the front and a timely snag by T.J. Watt, slammed the door in the final minute to survive the surge. (espn.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Kenneth Gainwell — 19 carries, 99 yards, 2 TD; 6 receptions, 35 yards. When the field got tight and the clock got loud, he was the steady drip that became a Dublin downpour. This is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, reminding you to hydrate, celebrate, and always remember — where ballin’ is a big dill.
