  "account": "In a thrilling overtime victory, the Pittsburgh Steelers, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-19. Rodgers threw for an impressive 253 yards and tallied two touchdowns, guided his team from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to a crucial 26-19 lead in overtime.\n\nThe game's momentum shifted after a slow start by the Steelers. Rodgers rallied his team with four fourth-quarter scoring drives, culminating in a 12-play, 70-yard touchdown drive that resulted in a 7-yard TD pass to receiver Germie Bernard with 3:15 left in overtime, securing the Steelers' 26-19 victory.\n\nDuring the game, Buccaneers rookie Jalon Daniels drove the Buccaneers to midfield on their ensuing possession, but a sack of undrafted free agent Jalen Ramsey resulted in an 11-yard loss, sealing the game for the Steelers. Rodgers completed 33 of 49 passes, despite being sacked five times in the first three quarters and throwing an interception that led to Tampa Bay's first field goal.\n\nChris Boswell added four field goals for Pittsburgh, including a 20-yarder that set up a short-lived 19-16 lead with 1:21 left in regulation. Buccaneers rookie Jalen Ramsey sacked Rodgers five times in the first three quarters. The victory also marked the Steelers' first game in France, as they traveled to Paris to face the New Orleans Saints in the first NFL regular-season game in France.",
