One of the biggest upsets of Week 6 in the NFL came when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-18. The defeat marked the fourth time that Tom Brady has lost to Pittsburgh in his long and storied career. The Steelers never trailed in the game and pulled off an upset while playing with two different quarterbacks. Rookie Kenny Pickett threw his first career touchdown pass to running back Najee Harris on the first drive of the game.
The next four scores would all come from field goals as the Buccaneers hit three in the first half and the Steelers hit one. This gave Pittsburgh a 10-9 lead at halftime. With 7:02 remaining in the third quarter, Pickett was slammed to the ground by linebacker Devin White. As a result, he was ruled out of the game with a concussion. Mitchell Trubisky then took over. At this point, the score was 13-12, as both teams started the quarter by hitting a field goal.
Trubisky found wide receiver Chase Claypool for a six-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay scored a touchdown with 4:38 left in the game but failed on the two-point conversion and trailed Pittsburgh 20-18. The Steelers managed to run down the clock and end the game victorious. Trubisky completed 9/12 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown in the win.
Week 7 features Steelers vs. Dolphins and Buccaneers vs. Panthers
The Steelers will look to build on today's victory and take their performance into Week 7's matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Miami will have starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back and he'll face a banged-up Pittsburgh defense. Kenny Pickett could potentially be sidelined with a concussion and they may turn to Mitchell Trubisky once again.
As for the Buccaneers, they should be able to bounce back next week. They're in a must-win situation following today's loss as they sit at 3-3. They will face the 1-5 Carolina Panthers, who appear to be beginning a rebuild. It seems likely that Tampa Bay will win that one fairly easily, as on paper it looks like a mismatch. But then again, that's what everyone thought would happen in Pittsburgh.
