Nothing was going right for the Steelers on Sunday. They trailed the Buccaneers 16-3 in the fourth quarter.
Pittsburgh won 26-19 in overtime.
The Steelers are 4-2 and the Bucs 1-5.
The Steelers dominated the fourth quarter, gaining 230 yards and forcing two Jalon Daniels interceptions. Their fourth-quarter scoring drives were 68, 24, 37 and 2 yards.
Chris Boswell’s 58-yard field goal tied the game 16-16 with 1:55 left. Two plays later, former Bucs cornerback Jamel Dean intercepted Daniels. Dean went 40 yards with the return of the errant pass before Daniels pushed him out of bounds at the Tampa Bay 3.
The Steelers couldn’t get it into the end zone, but Boswell’s 20-yard kick with 1:21 left gave the Steelers their first lead.
They left too much time for the Bucs, though, as Tampa Bay needed only a field goal to send the game to overtime.
With eight seconds left, Chase McLaughlin kicked a 53-yard field goal to tie it 19-19. It was McLaughlin’s fourth field goal of the day, with the others from 43, 47 and 52 yards.
The Steelers got the overtime kickoff, and Aaron Rodgers got his seventh overtime win with a 12-play, 70-yard drive that burned 6:45 of the 10-minute period. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Germie Bernard for the game-winner.
The Bucs drove across midfield, but on fourth-and-8 with 1:06 remaining, Jalen Ramsey sacked Daniels to end it. Ramsey had two sacks as did Nate Herbig.
The Bucs sacked Rodgers five times and frustrated him for most of the game. But he finished 33-of-49 for 253 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. DK Metcalf caught 11 passes for 93 yards, and Bernard had 11 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown.
The Steelers outgained the Bucs 300 to 224.
Daniels was 22-of-43 for 164 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
