Pittsburgh Steelers defeat Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured their first road victory of the season with a 26-19 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Trailing by 13 points in the fourth quarter, the Steelers rallied behind quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Rodgers’ two touchdown passes tied him with Peyton Manning for third on the NFL’s all-time career touchdown list with 539.

Wide receivers Germie Bernard and DK Metcalf were instrumental in the comeback, combining for significant yardage. Bernard scored the decisive touchdown in overtime on a 7-yard pass. On the defensive side, Jalen Ramsey secured the win with a fourth-down sack of Buccaneers rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels in the extra period.

The victory moves the Steelers to a 4-2 record, while the Buccaneers fall to 1-5. During the game, Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy briefly missed halftime after sustaining an apparent ankle injury while walking off the field, though he returned to the sideline for the second half to resume play-calling duties.
