It certainly wasn’t a pretty performance, but the Steelers walked out of Raymond James Stadium on Sunday with an overtime victory against the Buccaneers.
Pittsburgh only managed to produce three points through the first three quarters of the Week 6 contest, but the Steelers put 23 points on the board in the fourth quarter and overtime to secure a 26-19 win. Rookie wideout Germie Bernard scored the game-winning touchdown, finishing with 11 catches for 87 yards.
The Steelers will now attempt to carry that momentum across the Atlantic Ocean, as they are heading to Paris for next week’s game against the Saints.
