Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s 14th‑ranked run defense has limited backs like Bucky Irving to 2.3 yards per carry, a stark test for a Saints rushing attack that posted 175 yards against the Giants, highlighted by Kendre Miller’s 70 yards. Defensively, New Orleans must contain Aaron Rodgers, who’s delivering three‑plus‑TD games despite four recent interceptions, to secure a third win.
