Rodgers Leads Steelers to 26-19 Overtime Comeback Victory Over Buccaneers.
TAMPA, Fla. — Aaron Rodgers led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a dramatic 26-19 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, overcoming a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit. Rodgers completed 33 of 49 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning 7-yard pass to Germie Bernard in overtime. The victory improved Pittsburgh's record to 4-2. The Steelers struggled offensively through the first three quarters before Rodgers sparked a late comeback. Pittsburgh capitalized on two fourth-quarter interceptions by Tampa Bay rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, while kicker Chris Boswell contributed four field goals. Tampa Bay briefly regained momentum when Chase McLaughlin connected on a 53-yard field goal to send the game into overtime. However, Rodgers directed a 70-yard touchdown drive to put Pittsburgh ahead for good. The Buccaneers (1-5) had one final opportunity, but Jalen Ramsey sealed the victory with a fourth-down sack of Daniels. Pittsburgh will next face the New Orleans Saints in Paris, while Tampa Bay travels to Carolina for an NFC South matchup.
