Aaron Rodgers, Steelers rally for OT win in Tampa as Buccaneers' struggles continue without Baker Mayfield

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' season continued to unravel without Baker Mayfield, as a late-game collapse handed the Pittsburgh Steelers a dramatic overtime victory on Sunday. The Bucs, who led by 13 points in the fourth quarter, saw their momentum evaporate after Jalon Daniels threw two interceptions, including one to Daylen Everette that set up a key field goal.

The loss dropped Tampa Bay to 1-5 overall and 0-4 at home, effectively ending their playoff hopes. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers led the Steelers' comeback with a clutch touchdown pass to Germie Bernard in overtime, sealing a 26-19 win.

Bernard’s first career touchdown proved decisive as Rodgers orchestrated a late-game rally after the Steelers trailed by a single point late in regulation. Daniels, who replaced the injured Mayfield, now sits at 1-2 in his first three starts, with his struggles deepening Tampa Bay’s offensive woes.

Mayfield remains sidelined with a thumb injury, potentially missing up to six weeks after an MRI showed no ligament damage but no return date yet.
