NFL fans in Paris were largely unaffected by mass protests, despite the protests surrounding the Stade de France game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints. The game, the NFL's first regular-season game in France, was held a day after over 400,000 people gathered in protest over educational funding and the high cost of living. At least 110,000 of the protesters were in Paris, according to the French Interior Ministry. Despite the protests, some clashes resulted in French security forces using tear gas and water cannons in several cities. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was not concerned about the protests ahead of the game and was confident in the security arrangements made.
