Steelers overcome 16-3 deficit, defeat Buccaneers in OT

The Pittsburgh Steelers staged one of their most dramatic fourth-quarter turnarounds in franchise history, overcoming a 16-3 deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-19 in overtime. After struggling through three quarters—posting five consecutive three-and-outs and managing just three first-half points—the Steelers’ offense exploded in the final period, scoring on every possession except the final kneel-down.

Aaron Rodgers led the charge with two touchdown drives, including an eight-play sequence capped by Darnell Washington’s score, while Germie Bernard and DK Metcalf each hauled in 11 receptions, combining for all of Pittsburgh’s receiving yards. The defense also played a pivotal role, with Jamel Dean’s interception and Jalen Ramsey’s game-sealing sack forcing the game-deciding turnover on fourth down in overtime.

The win improved Pittsburgh’s record to 4-2 and snapped a two-game losing skid, marking their first consecutive victories of the season.
