Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings NFL Preview: Team news, betting, tickets, live stream, Fantasy Football and more

The NFL makes its way to Dublin this week with the Minnesota Vikings set to clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers handled business in Foxborough, grinding out a 21-14 win over the Patriots. It wasn’t flashy, but it didn’t need to be. Aaron Rodgers added another notch to his Hall of Fame belt with career touchdown No. 510, nudging past Brett Favre for fourth all-time, while T.J. Watt and that relentless defense made sure New England never found a rhythm. Same old story: Rodgers writes history, Watt wrecks games.

The real headline, though, came out of Minnesota. The Vikings didn’t just beat the Bengals—they flat-out embarrassed them, 48-10. Isaiah Rodgers turned in a defensive masterclass, and Jordan Mason kept the offense humming in perfect balance. This wasn't just a win; it was the kind of statement blowout that makes the rest of the league sit up and take notice.

Here’s the rub: the Vikings look like a Super Bowl freight train, but there's still a question mark stamped on the most important position in football. With J.J. McCarthy likely sidelined again, you can't help but wonder—can Minnesota really cash in on all this talent without a steady hand at quarterback? Right now, they look unstoppable, but January football has a way of exposing shaky QB situations.

Team news & roster

Pittsburgh Steelers team news

A trip to Ireland is the last thing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers needs when facing a stingy Vikings defense. The Steeler's inability to get anything going on the ground, averaging just 63 rushing yards a game at 2.8 yards per carry—only compounds the challenge. Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf have combined for 277 receiving yards and three scores, while Calvin Austin III has eight receptions to his name.

Pittsburgh's rushing offense has struggled, averaging only 63 yards per game, with Warren leading the way on 43 carries for 132 yards. Defensively, the Steelers are giving up 25.7 points and 386 total yards per contest. Patrick Queen is the tackling leader with 24, T.J. Watt has collected two sacks, and Nick Herbig owns a single interception.

Minnesota Vikings team news

Backup QB Carson Wentz has been sharp under center for Minnesota, completing 70 percent of his throws for 173 yards with two touchdown passes and no interceptions. Justin Jefferson and Jalen Nailor have combined for 296 receiving yards and a score, while tight end T.J. Hockenson has hauled in nine catches.

Wie receiver Jordan Addison has completed his three-game suspension by the NFL and is on the 53-man roster. He is eligible to play in Week 4. Christian Darrisaw was back in his familiar spot at left tackle on Sunday, and Kevin O'Connell noted Monday that veteran center Ryan Kelly is on track to return in Week 4 against the Steelers after missing the win over Cincinnati.

But for all the good news, the early-season theme for Minnesota has been injuries piling up like dirty laundry. Through just three games, the Vikings have already shipped key pieces like Blake Cashman and Aaron Jones to injured reserve. On top of that, names such as Andrew Van Ginkel, Jeff Okudah, and Harrison Smith have each been forced to watch from the sidelines at least once.

Call it rotten luck, poor fortune, or just the NFL's cruel reality, Minnesota's health report is looking more like a hospital ward than a roster sheet. And let’s be blunt: no team with playoff aspirations can afford to keep losing difference-makers at this clip. If the bodies keep dropping week after week, O'Connell's group will find themselves clawing just to stay afloat, let alone chasing postseason dreams.

Steelers vs Vikings Fantasy Football

The Vikings' attack looked sharp in Week 3 with Carson Wentz (14.7 projected W4 points) guiding the offense. The veteran signal-caller connected on 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the rout of Cincinnati, stepping in after backing up J.J. McCarthy through the first two weeks. With McCarthy still dealing with an ankle issue, Wentz is expected to hold onto the starting gig for now — and if he keeps winning, Minnesota’s coaches may have a real decision to make about sticking with him longer term.

In the backfield, Jordan Mason (14.3 projected W4 points) stepped up in a big way with Aaron Jones Sr. sidelined on IR. Mason exploded for 116 yards and two scores on just 16 carries, racking up 23.6 fantasy points in the blowout win. While he won’t provide much as a pass-catcher (only three receptions on the year), Mason is locked in as the Vikings’ lead back heading into the Week 4 showdown with Pittsburgh.

On the other side, the Steelers’ offense has yet to find its rhythm. Aaron Rodgers (13.2 projected W4 points) managed only 139 passing yards last week, and outside of Jaylen Warren (11.1 projected W4 points), there wasn’t much to cheer about. Despite their 2-1 record, Pittsburgh’s offense has been sputtering, averaging just 247 total yards per contest — the third-worst mark in the league.

Warren has emerged as their go-to playmaker, leading the team in carries, rushing yards, receptions, and receiving yards. While that highlights his versatility, it also underlines how little production Pittsburgh is getting elsewhere. Until Rodgers and the passing game find their footing, Warren will remain the centerpiece of the attack, with little competition in the backfield for his workload.

Steelers vs Vikings Game Predictions

According to ESPN, Minnesota have a 57% chance to come out on top, while Pittsburgh carries a 42.6% probability, with the rest allowing for the slim chance of a draw.

The Steelers might come in wearing the favorite's tag, but this one has all the makings of a nail-biter. If Carson Wentz can replicate the poise he showed a week ago, if Jordan Mason pounds the rock against a Pittsburgh front that's been anything but airtight versus the run, and if that ferocious Vikings pass rush keeps doing what it does best—well, don't be shocked if Minnesota comes away with a chunky win on Irish soil.

The Steelers are tough, sure, but this Vikings team has the recipe to spoil the script. GOAL expects Minnesota to control the action from start to finish and notch a convincing victory, one that feels more dominant than the final score might reflect.
