Panthers Hand Eagles 4th Straight Loss as Rams Drop Another Division Game in Week 6

Q: What sparked Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers to erase a 13-point deficit and stun the Buccaneers in overtime?

Pittsburgh’s comeback was sparked by a fourth-quarter shift on both sides of the ball: Aaron Rodgers finally found rhythm through the air, and Tampa Bay’s offense unraveled with turnovers. After trailing 16-3 entering the fourth, Rodgers hit Darnell Washington for a touchdown to cut the margin and ignite the rally. He began leaning more heavily on DK Metcalf, who finished with 11 catches for 93 yards, and Rodgers later said that once Pittsburgh got Metcalf involved, “the offense shifted.” Rodgers then led four scoring drives in the fourth quarter and overtime, finishing 33 of 49 for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Just as important, the Steelers’ defense flipped the game. Buccaneers fill-in quarterback Jalon Daniels threw two fourth-quarter interceptions, one to Daylen Everette that set up a Chris Boswell field goal and another that gave Pittsburgh a short field for another Boswell kick. Boswell’s field goals erased the deficit and briefly gave the Steelers the lead late in regulation. In overtime, Rodgers completed the comeback with a 12-play, 70-yard drive capped by a touchdown pass to rookie Germie Bernard for the game-winner. Jalen Ramsey then ended Tampa Bay’s final chance with a fourth-down sack. In short, the rally came from Rodgers’ late-game command, better use of his top targets, and a Steelers defense that forced the mistakes that changed the game.
