Pittsburgh Steelers defeat Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime
The Pittsburgh Steelers secured their first road victory of the 2026 season with a 26-19 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Trailing by 13 points in the fourth quarter, quarterback Aaron Rodgers led a comeback, throwing for 253 yards and two touchdowns. His final scoring drive concluded with a 7-yard touchdown pass to rookie Germie Bernard in overtime.
Defensively, Jalen Ramsey played a decisive role, recording 10 tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks, including a critical fourth-down sack of Buccaneers rookie Jalon Daniels that ended the game. The Buccaneers, playing without Baker Mayfield, struggled with turnovers, as Daniels threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter.
Following the game, Rodgers criticized the playing surface at Raymond James Stadium, labeling it “one of the worst surfaces in the league” and expressing concerns regarding player safety. Additionally, Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy required medical attention for an ankle injury during the first half but returned to the sideline for the second half.
