Steelers survive late Vikings comeback to claim historic win in Dublin

It has been 27 years since the Pittsburgh Steelers played a pre-season game in Croke Park against the Chicago Bears. Back in 1997, Kerry were the All-Ireland Football champions under Paidi O Sé, and Clare were the All-Ireland Hurling champions, captained by the great Anthony Daly.

All these years later, there was certainly a lot of yellow around GAA HQ on Sunday, but instead of the green and yellow of Kerry, it was the iconic black and gold of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Over 30,000 fans travelled from the United States to see the first-ever regular-season NFL game to take place in Ireland, all part of the NFL’s mission to grow the game internationally.

This year is bigger than ever, with games in Brazil, three games in London, as well as matches in Berlin and Madrid.

The Steelers’ opponents in Dublin were the Minnesota Vikings, who came into the game with the same record as Pittsburgh—two wins and one loss. Despite losing their young quarterback JJ McCarthy to injury two weeks ago, veteran Carson Wentz stepped in last week, leading the team to a win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

### Game Overview

The game started poorly for the Steelers as quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked on the very first play. After a quick three-and-out, the Vikings began to march down the field. Things took a complicated turn when the Steelers appeared to score a touchdown off a fumble recovery. However, the referees ruled the player out of bounds when he fumbled, allowing the Vikings to retain possession. They managed only a field goal, leaving the score 3-0 in favor of Minnesota.

The Steelers responded sharply with a great drive led by Rodgers, ending in a 1-yard touchdown run from running back Kenneth Gainwell.

### Terrible Towels Take Over

The Vikings couldn’t mount a response, and once again Rodgers took the field. He found his best receiver, DK Metcalf, who broke free down the middle for a spectacular 30-yard touchdown run, sending the Steelers fans into a frenzy.

Whether at Acrisure Stadium or Croke Park, the sight of the yellow “Terrible Towels” is enough to unnerve opposing teams. That pressure soon told as Wentz was constantly hounded by the Steelers’ defense, forcing him into a tipped pass that was intercepted by safety DeShon Elliott.

### Celebrity Sightings and Unique Fans

During stoppages—a hallmark of American sports—several celebrities appeared on the big screen, including Steelers superfan and Kerry footballer Paudie Clifford. Connacht and Ireland rugby player Bundee Aki participated in the official coin toss, and legendary Hollywood actor Bill Murray was even spotted in the crowd.

Fans also showed their enthusiasm with unique outfits: one Steelers fan dressed in black armor like a Roman centurion, while a Vikings supporter wore a Mandalorian helmet with Baby Yoda perched on his shoulder.

### Steely Defence and Croke Park Atmosphere

As the first half wore on, the game slowed down with just a Vikings field goal to note, making the halftime score 14-6 to the Steelers.

The sun began to break through the clouds as the second half started, illuminating the beautiful Croke Park field. Fans on Hill 16 were able to soak up the rays from the famed terrace, which was converted into a seating-only section for the game—a clear indication of how far the GAA has come to accommodate an event of this magnitude.

While the State contributed €10 million to help host the game, the expected economic benefit is estimated to reach close to €65 million.

### A Game in the Making for Years

This game did not happen overnight—it has been years in the making. The Steelers were founded by Art Rooney back in 1933, who traced his roots back to Newry in Co Down. With the team still under the stewardship of Art Rooney Jr. and Art Rooney II, it is clear why this game was so important to the franchise.

As the second half progressed, the Rooney brothers must have been pleased with their team’s performance. The Steelers’ defense began to dominate. Midway through the third quarter, star pass rusher T.J. Watt intercepted a pass, setting up the offense in prime position. Kenneth Gainwell capitalized with another touchdown, widening the lead to 21-6.

During one of the many breaks in play, the stadium announcer revealed attendance was close to 75,000—not quite an All-Ireland final day, but still an impressive crowd.

The Steelers continued to control the clock and added a field goal, extending their lead to 24-6 with just over ten minutes remaining.

### Vikings Rally Late

The Vikings fought back, scoring a late touchdown by running back Zavier Scott, followed by a successful two-point conversion with seven minutes to go.

With three minutes remaining, the game burst to life again when Wentz connected with Jordan Addison for an electrifying 81-yard gain. Now just yards from the goal line, the Vikings went for it on fourth down, converting with a short pass to Jalen Nailor, narrowing the score to 24-21.

Despite their efforts, the Vikings could not tie the score, and the Steelers ran out the clock for the victory.

### Final Thoughts

What seemed like a potential blowout transformed into a highly competitive game. Overall, Dublin and Croke Park were excellent hosts. The city centre buzzed with excitement, and Merrion Square was transformed into a Steelers’ tailgate for the weekend. Families enjoyed activities such as trying out field goal kicking and target practice.

There are areas to improve, though. Some food stalls ran out of items by halftime, and the “loaded” nachos served seemed to have only a small squeeze of cheese. These minor kinks can certainly be ironed out for future events.

For its first NFL game, Croke Park proved to be the perfect cauldron for American football—a thrilling showcase of sport and culture coming together on Irish soil.

Viral Video Shows Booze & Chicken Party On NH-135 In Mirzapur, Men Dance On Highway After Cooking On Road

**Mirzapur: Men Caught Hosting Booze and Chicken Party on National Highway 135**

A group of men in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district was caught on video hosting a booze-and-chicken party in the middle of National Highway 135 near Bastaura Mod, under the Lalganj police station’s jurisdiction. The footage, which has gone viral on social media, shows the group cooking food directly on the highway before breaking into a roadside dance party with loud music and open car doors.

### Cooking on the Highway: Stove, Pressure Cooker, and Alcohol

In the first clip, the men can be seen placing a stove directly on the road, using a pressure cooker to prepare chicken. This setup was arranged on one side of the divided highway, while vehicles continued to pass on the opposite lane. The casual disregard for safety and traffic rules sparked widespread concern online.

### Roadside Dance Party Raises Safety Concerns

Following the meal, a second video shows the same group dancing on the road with the car doors open and music blaring loudly. There was no visible attempt made to secure the area or warn oncoming traffic, raising serious questions about road safety enforcement and police presence in the region.

### Police Respond: Investigation Underway

In response to the viral video, Mirzapur Police issued a statement on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), confirming that the incident occurred under the Lalganj police station’s jurisdiction. The statement read, “Lalganj Police Station Head was directed to investigate the facts and take necessary action.”

As of now, no arrests have been made, and it remains unclear whether the individuals involved have been identified. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the matter.

—

The shocking disregard for public safety exhibited in these videos has drawn public criticism and highlights the need for stricter patrolling and enforcement on national highways.

MAFS UK struck by cyclone chaos as awkward couple stuck in hotel room

**EXCLUSIVE: MAFS UK Struck by Cyclone Chaos as Awkward Couple Stuck in Hotel Room**

Married At First Sight UK newlyweds Bailey and Rebecca were forced to get creative after a Class 3 cyclone hit the area where they were staying for their honeymoon, leaving them stuck in their hotel rooms.

When Rebecca walked down the aisle, she was initially unimpressed with Bailey, revealing that she was looking for an “alpha male.”

“I’m not sure if he’s alpha or not. He’s not my type,” the 32-year-old said in a confessional.

However, Bailey seems to have won her over with his romantic gestures during their honeymoon trip. When the hotel restaurants shut down due to the cyclone, he organised a sweet date for the two of them.

In a first look clip shared with The Mirror, Bailey is seen throwing rose petals onto the bed while Rebecca finished getting ready in the bathroom.

“Because of the cyclone, the restaurants are all closed in the hotel tonight, so Bailey has told me to get dressed up and he’s going to sort it,” Rebecca said in a voiceover.

Bailey placed a plate of food in the middle of the bed, lit a few candles, and poured them two glasses of rosé wine. When Rebecca emerged from the bathroom, she was clearly impressed.

“Wow, this is so nice. It’s so nice to see him being really romantic and gentle and go to loads of effort for the date,” she told the cameras.

“Is this what you do for all your first dates?” she asked her new husband after they took a sip of wine.

He cheekily answered, “No, only for you.”

Before their wedding ceremony, Rebecca had discussed her ideal partner, stating:

“I’m attracted to the alpha male. I’m attracted to the big man that can lead me by the hand.”

She added, “My standards are very high, I like to be in order and I like things to look nice. I won’t settle for anything less than perfection in my life and I feel the same about my relationships.”

Rebecca further described her preference: “I’m attracted to the alpha male. Somebody tall, confident and who’s sure of themselves,” before expressing hope that such a man would be waiting for her at the altar.

“I’m picturing a man who’s got stature about him, I want him to be a dominant figure. I’ve walked away from something before because I didn’t want to settle. If they don’t tick enough boxes for me straight away, I will say how I feel,” she explained.

However, when she finally met her new husband, Rebecca admitted, “Alarm bells are going off in my head. He’s not my type.”

‘We were back to zero’: Triptii recalls ‘Laila Majnu’ failure

**‘We were back to zero’: Triptii Dimri recalls ‘Laila Majnu’ failure**

*By Isha Sharma | Sep 28, 2025, 10:03 AM*

Triptii Dimri, who made her lead debut in the 2018 romantic drama *Laila Majnu*, recently opened up about the film’s initial box office failure in an interview with *Filmfare*. Despite receiving positive reviews, the movie, which also starred Avinash Tiwary, underperformed commercially.

“When the film did not do well, I felt very disappointed because we were back to zero,” Dimri shared, reflecting on the setback.

### Dimri’s Empathy for Co-star Avinash Tiwary

Dimri expressed particular concern for her co-star Avinash Tiwary, who had been in the industry much longer. “I had been around for at least two years, but Avinash Tiwary had been here for 14 years,” she said. “Then we started giving auditions again, and I felt bad for him.”

Despite the initial disappointment, Triptii remained optimistic about the film’s long-term appeal and impact on audiences.

### The Film’s Journey: From Failure to Cult Classic

Though *Laila Majnu* struggled at the box office during its original release, it eventually garnered a huge following and achieved cult status. In 2024, the film was re-released and became a commercial success, surpassing the lifetime collections of its initial run.

“I knew it would receive appreciation, because even today, eight years after its release, people still talk about it,” Dimri remarked.

### Behind the Scenes of *Laila Majnu*

Triptii also reflected on the challenging yet rewarding experience of filming *Laila Majnu*. “There were many challenges on a day-to-day basis because we were shooting in the valleys of Kashmir for 20 or even 24 hours at a stretch,” she recalled.

“Many times, I cried during that period, wondering what I was doing, because none of it was easy.”

Despite these difficulties, Dimri considers *Laila Majnu* to be a special film that taught her a lot about acting and shaped her career.

Soundcheck: What Struck A Chord

Music plays a central role in life, culture, and counterculture. Research shows that listening to music reduces stress hormones, slows the heart rate, and improves mood. It is a simple way to cope with everyday pressures. People turn to music when they want to manage anxiety, recover from grief, sharpen focus while studying, or stay motivated irrespective of their goals.

The act of singing or playing an instrument stimulates brain activity, strengthens memory, and builds discipline. It also creates new pathways within the brain and generates new neurons, which is important because it can protect against diseases of the mind that have no cure once the onset begins. Playing an instrument is a skill that carries over to other areas of life. A familiar melody can unlock memories and help us express emotions that some individuals can’t articulate. It’s almost like magic that a single song can transport you back to a specific moment in time.

Beyond individual well-being, music acts as social glue that binds communities together. Shared playlists, family gatherings, weddings, and live concerts create spaces where people connect and celebrate together. These shared experiences foster joy and empathy. Feelings of love, loss, and many other emotions become easier to deal with and find expression in ways that language alone sometimes struggles to match. Even the simple act of exchanging song recommendations can deepen friendships.

Culturally, music preserves history and identity in ways that textbooks simply cannot. In Pakistan, centuries-old folk songs pass down stories of place, language, and folklore. They keep a variety of traditions alive from Sindh to Gilgit-Baltistan. These songs carry the voices of our ancestors—their struggles, celebrations, and dreams. Qawwali, for instance, can open a spiritual door, particularly when all others fail. It is an expression of divine will and consequently lifts the soul.

Meanwhile, contemporary genres such as hip-hop, pop, and electronic music give younger generations a platform to reflect on modern realities and global influences. Streaming services like Spotify and YouTube have widened this reach dramatically. They allow regional artists to find audiences far beyond their own regions. The rules of geography and man-made borders take a backstage. They also make it easier for listeners to explore both ancestral sounds and cutting-edge trends.

Whether ancient or modern, personal or collective, music remains a universal language that speaks to everyone, regardless of background or belief. National shows such as Pakistan Idol add another layer by uncovering hidden singers and giving them a stage to be heard. This serves as a reminder that talent exists everywhere, not just in big cities. These platforms give a chance to extraordinary voices emerging from the most unexpected places—small towns as well as bustling neighborhoods.

### 313 Productions to Produce Pakistan Idol as It Enters Phase 2 with Record Participation

HL Global has named 313 Productions as the official producing partner of Pakistan Idol, with seasoned producer Badar Ikram at the helm. The show is set to premiere today, a date that means a great deal to music fans across the country.

Badar Ikram, a veteran of Pakistan’s television industry, launched Karachi-based 313 Productions in July after eleven years as SVP and Head of Film at a well-known local channel’s film division. In the past, he was also the Managing Director of Geo TV, which produced the programme’s first and only season more than a decade ago. This gives Ikram unique insight into what made the original show work and what needs to be improved for the upcoming second season.

Pakistan Idol hopes to raise production standards and audience engagement while offering a platform to undiscovered singers. The goal is not only entertainment—it’s about creating real opportunities for talented individuals who might otherwise never get their big break. Badar Ikram called the project both an honour and a responsibility, words that reflect the weight of nurturing new talent in a country with an immense pool of potential.

Meanwhile, MHL Global’s Director, Zoya Merchant, praised the energy at auditions and expressed confidence that the show will inspire viewers and highlight new talent. Auditions have been held nationwide, and state-of-the-art sets have been prepared. The competition has now moved into Phase 2, as organisers begin shortlisting contestants from a vast pool of applicants. This is a task that is both exciting and daunting given the sheer volume of talent.

Auditions drew singers from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Sukkur, Quetta, and Peshawar. There was also notable turnout from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and many smaller towns including Khairpur, Jacobabad, Gujrat, D.G. Khan, D.I. Khan, and Hyderabad. The geographic diversity is remarkable.

Those who auditioned wanted to prove that talent knows no boundaries. While many will not make it as contestants, it was heartening to see such turnout. Venues were busy, often with long queues and hundreds of hopefuls auditioning for a chance to progress to the next round. Many contestants travelled for hours just to perform, carrying dreams that had been years in the making.

Pakistan is more than one thing, and this show is ample proof. The judging panel for Pakistan Idol includes musician and actor Fawad Khan; qawwali and playback singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan; singer Zeb Bangash; and singer-songwriter, scriptwriter, storyteller, and director Bilal Maqsood.

“What makes Idol special is how it brings Pakistan together through music,” said Zoya Merchant. “From the smallest towns to the biggest cities, every voice matters here. This is where dreams meet opportunity and where the next star is born.” Her words capture something essential about the show’s mission. It’s not just about finding one winner but about celebrating the musical diversity that exists across the country.

As part of the global Idol franchise, the show offers the average individual an opportunity to transform their passion into a profession. Ultimately, Pakistan Idol aims to create a cultural moment that could resonate for years to come. With 313 Productions at the helm and record participation from across the country, the programme has the potential to reshape the local music ecosystem.

The show could become a genuine launchpad for new careers rather than a one-season spectacle. This depends on whether production value, the judging panel, and broadcast partnerships match the ambition shown at auditions. The stakes are high, but so is the potential.

For now, the biggest story is the sheer breadth of talent that turned up. It’s a reminder that opportunity, when paired with the right platform, can change lives and revive interest in the local music scene. In a country where musical talent often goes unrecognised, Pakistan Idol represents hope—hope that the next generation of artists will have better opportunities than those who came before them.

### How to Make the Most of Spotify Free

Spotify, the world’s largest audio streaming platform, is always innovating to keep listeners engaged. Spotify Free is another step in that direction. It puts a huge library in anyone’s pocket, letting listeners search, play, and share without a subscription.

In Pakistan, many users begin their streaming journey on the free tier, and honestly, it’s a good starting point. You can search for any track, play a suggested playlist, or jump straight into a song a friend has shared. The appeal lies in its simplicity and immediate access to millions of tracks.

Personalized lists such as Discover Weekly and Release Radar help you find new music. The more you listen and share, the more accurate the recommendations become. It feels like having a friend who understands your taste in music and keeps introducing you to new favourites.

Daylist adapts throughout the day to match your routine. It provides upbeat tracks for your morning workout and mellow tunes for your evening wind-down. Meanwhile, real-time lyrics make it easy to sing along and share lines on Instagram or WhatsApp. There’s something satisfying about posting those perfect lyrics that capture exactly how you’re feeling at that moment.

For local listeners, Spotify Free is an entry point to both familiar favourites and new voices from across the country. It’s where you might discover that incredible singer from Multan or that indie band from Lahore that’s about to blow up. It lowers the barrier to discovery. There’s no financial commitment, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

For emerging artists, this openness can lead to real exposure. For listeners, it can spark interest in gigs—particularly local ones—or talent shows such as Pakistan Idol. In that sense, the free tier is more of a beginning than an ending. It’s the first step in an ongoing conversation between artists and audiences that helps keep the music alive—the digital equivalent of discovering new music through word of mouth, just on a much larger scale.

Is it a bird? No, it’s Dickie Bird

Watching most of these men up close and personal must have been special for you, allowing you to pick an eleven of the finest.

I’m thinking, in the years when you went out to umpire, there was a relative simplicity to the game—no DRS, no third umpires, no reviews, and no replays. When you gave a batsman out, that was it. He was out, no one questioned it, and he just walked. I imagine you would have been appalled to have a third person take the final decision for you.

It’s funny—you were most famous for diffusing tense situations with self-deprecating humour and jest. So, I have a question: with all the sledging and non-shaking of hands that’s been going on between us and the Pakistanis, do you feel it was in the spirit of the game? Once two teams have agreed to play, would you have insisted that they conduct themselves amicably, or would you have had something to say?

Last Tuesday’s match was like a gun battle shrouded in a game of cricket. The umpires watched benignly as players let go of their cricket gear for imaginary guns; skilled players became soldiers. How would you have handled it?

More importantly, we meet the Pakistanis tonight in the final of the Asia Cup. Things have gone from bad to worse. In the first encounter, hands weren’t shaken. In the second, planes fell out of the sky—it was nasty stuff. What would you have done then, and what would you do tonight if you were one of the two umpires?

I’m guessing you’d gather all 22 players on the 22 yards and have a wee chat.

“How do, lads? How’s the scene tonight?” you’d joke, about wanting good, clean, competitive cricket—nothing more—in your endearing Yorkshire accent.

Back in the day, you looked over some really colourful characters. Sunny and Imran were both in your greatest Test eleven. Gavaskar, one of your top openers, and Imran, your skipper. Our relations as two cricketing nations were tense, but somehow politics stayed out of the equation. Imran even convinced Sunny to delay his retirement.

One could argue that everything has become more complex and complicated. Umpires now head out to the middle armed to the teeth, yet the modern on-field umpire has the safety net of an air-conditioned third opinion, aided by technology and tracking systems. The stress on his correct or incorrect decision-making is much less.

You, Harold Dennis Bird, just had your two eyes, an instinct and feel for the game, balancing the rule book versus the conditions. An understanding of human beings, the geniality of a gentleman coupled with solid firmness.

Six hours a day of complete focus—picking out no-balls, hearing nicks to the keeper, allowing no nonsense between players, getting those LBW decisions correct in a nanosecond. The massive repercussions between an appeal and your finger going up—and you controlled some of the most volatile folks in the game: Ambrose, Warne, Lillee.

Nudges onto the pads when LBW decisions were demanded, and the sheer knowledge of the game—you had no second chances. There were no instant replays. Just you, having to take an instant decision.

You always knew a batsman was out when the great Dickie Bird raised his finger and said so—like Brian Lara.

Rest well, dear Dickie. The giant cricket stadium in the heavens awaits you.

### What Our Post Expert Thinks About BYU vs. Colorado

Nobody expected things to run that smoothly for Sanders and the Buffaloes without Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, but a loss to BYU could doom Colorado to a very disappointing season.

After facing the Cougars, Colorado travels to TCU, hosts Iowa State, and then takes on Utah. Things could get ugly pretty fast for Coach Prime if the Buffaloes can’t get a win this weekend.

Our family’s biggest hit: Mahesh Bhatt lauds Mohit Suri’s ‘Saiyaara’

**Our Family’s Biggest Hit: Mahesh Bhatt Lauds Mohit Suri’s ‘Saiyaara’**

*By Isha Sharma | Sep 27, 2025 | 03:41 PM*

Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently praised his nephew, director Mohit Suri, for the phenomenal success of his film *Saiyaara*. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Bhatt expressed his pride, saying, “It makes me so happy. Simba’s roar has outdone Mufasa’s. Nobody in our family has ever delivered a hit this huge.”

Released in July, the romantic musical *Saiyaara* shattered several box office records and was widely credited with reviving Bollywood’s golden age of romance. The film stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles and has reportedly earned ₹570 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year.

Despite the massive success, Mahesh Bhatt remains grounded about Mohit Suri’s achievements. He shared, “He’s my sister’s son, and he’s a completely self-made boy. But I keep giving him the feeling of not having arrived. I remind him that we might make a hit or two, but we will most definitely make flops.”

Bhatt also addressed the inevitable comparisons between *Saiyaara* and his iconic film *Aashiqui*. He said, “Every generation has a love story that defines it. While *Aashiqui* was made with purity, *Saiyaara* is today’s defining romantic film.”

With its heartfelt storytelling and musical depth, *Saiyaara* is indeed carving its own legacy in Bollywood, earning both critical and commercial acclaim while marking a milestone for the Bhatt family’s cinematic journey.
