It certainly wasn’t a pretty performance, but the Steelers<\/a> walked out of Raymond James Stadium on Sunday with an overtime victory against the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
