Pittsburgh turns it around late
The Pittsburgh Steelers rallied from a 16-3 deficit entering the fourth quarter to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-19 in overtime at Raymond James Stadium in Week 6. Pittsburgh scored 16 points in the fourth while holding Tampa Bay to three, bringing the teams level at 19-19 after regulation. The Steelers then scored seven unanswered points in overtime to complete their second straight victory. Tampa Bay had controlled the scoring through three quarters. The Buccaneers led 3-0 after the first, extended that advantage to 13-3 at halftime and added three more points in the third. Pittsburgh had managed only a second-quarter field goal before its late surge. The result moved the Steelers to 4-2. Tampa Bay fell to 1-5, unable to follow its Week 5 win at Dallas with another victory.
Bernard and Metcalf carry the receiving work
Germie Bernard and DK Metcalf each caught 11 passes, giving Aaron Rodgers two high-volume targets. Bernard secured 11 of his 12 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. Metcalf drew 15 targets and finished with a team-high 93 receiving yards. Together, they accounted for 22 of Rodgers' 33 completions and 180 of his 253 passing yards. Rodgers completed 33 of 49 attempts with two touchdowns and one interception. Darnell Washington supplied the other receiving touchdown, catching four passes for 25 yards on six targets.
Tampa Bay struggles for yardage
Jalon Daniels completed 22 of 43 passes for 164 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He added 39 rushing yards on four carries. Emeka Egbuka received 16 targets but finished with seven catches for 48 yards and Tampa Bay's lone receiving touchdown. Chris Godwin Jr. caught four of eight targets for 37 yards. The running game offered limited production from Bucky Irving, who gained 46 yards on 19 carries—2.4 yards per attempt. His two receptions added three yards.
Fantasy returns favor Pittsburgh's receivers
Bernard led the game with 25.7 PPR points, with his 11 catches and touchdown lifting him above Metcalf's 20.3. Both delivered strong receiving totals on substantial target volume. Egbuka's touchdown helped him reach 17.8 PPR points despite his modest yardage. Washington produced 12.5, while Irving finished with 6.9 and Godwin with 7.7. Both kickers also delivered notable totals: Pittsburgh's Chris Boswell and Tampa Bay's Chase McLaughlin each scored 17.0 fantasy points. Rodgers finished with 16.0.
