NFL fans throw flag on Steelers for fashion faux pas as team takes on Saints in Paris

Paris is arguably the fashion capital of the world. When you dress to impress, the people take notice. It’s also why Aaron Rodgers and some of his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates left their fans a little befuddled with their pregame outfits on Sunday.

Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth dressed in stylish suits and caps as they made their way into Stade de France outside Paris. However, they looked like they took a page out of "Peaky Blinders" more than anything. The Steelers essentially confirmed the idea with a post on X.

"By order of the Peaky Blinders," the team wrote.

"Peaky Blinders" is famously a British historical crime drama featuring Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy and others. It takes place in Birmingham, England, and follows the gang navigating through the world after World War I.

For what it’s worth, Murphy’s character – Tommy Shelby – served in WWI in France. But that might be the only real connection the show has to France.

The Steelers’ fashion sense may have been a little off and NFL fans took exception.

Still, the Steelers were looking to take home a victory in Paris against the New Orleans Saints. The NFL trudged on with the game despite concerns about the civil unrest raging at points in France and elsewhere across Europe.

Kickoff occurred at 9:30 a.m. ET without any issues.

Pittsburgh took a 13-10 lead into the half.
