Rodgers Ties All-Time Mark with Pair of Scores in Steelers OT Win

Aaron Rodgers threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns to help the Steelers overcome a slow start and defeat the Buccaneers 26-19 in overtime. The performance lifted him into a tie with Peyton Manning for third on the career passing touchdown list at 539, trailing only Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

Fourth-Quarter Push

Pittsburgh trailed by 13 points entering the final period before Rodgers directed four scoring drives. A 5-yard touchdown pass to Washington brought the Steelers within reach, and a 12-play, 70-yard march ended with a 7-yard score to Germie Bernard that gave Pittsburgh the lead with 3:15 left in overtime.

Defensive Finish

The Buccaneers reached the Steelers 48-yard line on their final possession, but Jalen Ramsey sacked rookie Jalon Daniels for an 11-yard loss on fourth down to seal the outcome. Rodgers completed 33 of 49 passes despite five sacks and an interception in the first three quarters, while Chase McLaughlin accounted for all four Tampa Bay points with field goals.
