• Steelers, Saints still on for NFL’s Paris debut on Sunday

• Violent protests prompt US security warning for fans

• PSG cancel Sunday match amid escalating Paris unrest

The NFL would have cancelled its first regular-season game in Paris, scheduled for Sunday, if the situation were unsafe, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Friday, referring to the recent protests in the French capital.

France experienced some of its worst urban unrest in years last weekend, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to tighten restrictions on protests on Thursday amid fears that demonstrations planned for Saturday could turn violent.
