PARIS - Steelers inside linebackers have been lightning rods for criticism early in the season, but ... Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson and Patrick Queen made key defensive plays in the Steelers' victory over the Saints in the NFL's first-ever game in France. Wilson intercepted Saints quarterback Tyler Shough early in the third quarter and Queen sacked Shough late in the fourth quarter. Wilson's interception halted Saints' 14-play drive and increased his team-leading total to 61 tackles. Queen's sack of Shough was crucial as the Saints were forced to punt and the Steelers offense ran the final 5:52 off the clock. Rodgers also mentioned the idea of an NFL international weekend, which he said would have all teams playing outside the country.
