Key moment in the extra period came when cornerback Jalen Ramsey brought down the Buccaneers quarterback on fourth down, sealing the victory. Ramsey delivered what many considered his best game of the season, finishing with 10 total tackles, including four for loss, and two sacks. Notably, he played through a broken wrist, a challenge he has been coping with for several weeks.
Ramsey’s presence has been a steadying force for a Steelers secondary that has faced questions this season. Across six games, he has consistently performed at a high level, contributing both in run defense and pass coverage, and making critical plays when needed.
With the win, the Steelers moved into a tie for first place in the AFC North, alongside the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. The Browns hold the tiebreaker early in the season, having defeated both division rivals, but Pittsburgh remains in the conversation for the division title.
Looking ahead, the Steelers will travel to Paris to face the New Orleans Saints next Sunday, with kickoff scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET. The team will aim to continue its winning streak and solidify its position atop the division standings.
