Steelers overcome 16-3 deficit, defeat Buccaneers in OT

In a franchise-record fourth-quarter comeback, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-19 in overtime, marking their first win streak of the season and improving their record to 4-2. The offense, which struggled for points throughout the first three quarters, finally found life in the final quarter. Aaron Rodgers and Germie Bernard orchestrated an eight-play drive that culminated in a touchdown by Darnell Washington, turning the game around from a 16-3 deficit.

With just over a minute remaining, Buccaneers' Jalon Daniels scored to bring the game to 19-19 and force overtime. The Steelers, who won the coin toss, capitalized on their opportunity, with Rodgers leading a 12-play drive to Bernard's first career touchdown, putting Pittsburgh ahead 26-19. Tampa Bay's defense secured the victory with a sack by Patrick Graham, who intercepted a pass thrown by Jalen Ramsey, sealing the win for the Buccaneers.
