Watt’s wife, is absolutely blowing up the spot on the NFL’s seriously questionable decision to keep the Steelers-Saints Week 7 game in Paris. She’s not just questioning it, she’s straight up asking: “Tell me how this one makes sense???” And honestly, a lot of us are right there with her.
The NFL’s Paris Problem: Is Heightened Security Enough?
The league’s choice to go forward with the Week 7 matchup in Paris, despite all the political unrest happening in the city, has raised more than a few eyebrows. Even with the NFL announcing “heightened security” for the game, the core issue remains: does playing there really make sense right now? It feels like the league is prioritizing optics or a schedule commitment over, well, everything else. It’s a move that’s leaving a lot of fans and media scratching their heads, and now even those closest to the players are voicing their frustration. You gotta wonder if the players themselves are feeling this squeeze too.
Dani Watt Speaks Up, Steelers Look Ahead
Dani Watt didn’t mince words. She hopped on her Instagram story, sharing an image confirming the NFL’s decision to keep the game in Paris, and then dropped that pointed caption. It’s clear she’s “not happy” about the whole situation, and her calling out the league like that shows just how serious this feels for the families involved.
Meanwhile, the Steelers are rolling into this international showdown after a Week 6 win over the Buccaneers, where they got some solid grades. They’re even opening as slight favorites against the Saints, so they’re clearly focused on the field. Don’t forget, they just signed WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and we saw some big personal milestones for Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey in that win against the Bucs. Even with Coach Mike McCarthy defending play-calling after a Jamel Dean interception, the team is still moving. But all that on-field stuff has to feel a little overshadowed when you’ve got this kind of off-field controversy swirling around an international game.
The Steelers are heading into that Week 7 game against the Saints in Paris with all this swirling around them. It’s not just a game anymore; it’s a statement, on and off the field. Every eye is going to be on how this unfolds, and you know Dani Watt’s question about whether it “makes sense” is going to be echoing in a lot of minds.
