Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey reach personal milestones in Steelers win over Buccaneers

In a thrilling comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Pittsburgh Steelers showcased the talents of two future Hall of Famers: quarterback Aaron Rodgers and defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Rodgers' remarkable prowess shone through, as he threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and overtime, pushing his total to 255 touchdowns in all games—marking the fourth-most ever recorded.

This achievement surpasses the all-time record set by Peyton Manning. Meanwhile, Ramsey delivered an extraordinary performance by tallying 10 tackles, with an impressive four tackles for loss, and adding two sacks to his stat line. This marks the first time since 2000 that a defensive back has achieved such a remarkable stat line in a single game, showcasing his dominance on the field.

As the Steelers now stand at a 4-2 record, they prepare to face off against the 2-4 New Orleans Saints, who recently triumphed over the New York Giants. The Steelers' coach, Mike McCarthy, later defended his play-calling in the wake of a Jamel Dean interception. Ramsey is widely regarded as an integral part of the Steelers' defense, with his exceptional abilities helping to solidify the team's position in the league.
