The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-19 in overtime on October 19, 2026, after trailing 16-3 in the fourth quarter. Jeremy Bernard scored the overtime touchdown on a 12-play, 70-yard drive, and Jamel Dean's interception return to the three-yard line set up a score. The win was Pittsburgh's first road victory of the season.

The discussion weighs the comeback against a slow first three quarters and a depleted Tampa Bay team, and notes the AFC North logjam at 4-2.
