What happened: Chase Young followed up his earlier third-down takedown of Aaron Rodgers with another pass-rush stop during Sunday's regular-season contest. The play came with Pittsburgh holding a 16-10 fourth-quarter lead after New Orleans missed a 52-yard field goal attempt.

Why it matters: Repeated fourth-quarter pressure from Young helped keep New Orleans within one score late in regulation despite the missed kick. Drafted second overall out of Ohio State by the Washington Commanders in 2020, the defensive end has carried his pass-rushing production from 2025 into the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Young tallied 38 tackles and 10 sacks in 12 games with the Saints in 2025. Pittsburgh led 16-10 in the fourth quarter following a missed 52-yard field goal attempt by New Orleans.

What to watch: New Orleans looks to close the six-point deficit in the final minutes of the fourth quarter on NFL Network.
