Steelers Survive Bucs in Overtime: Encouraging Win or Real Concern?

Alan Saunders looks back at the Steelers' overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and argues that the in-game adjustments matter more than the slow start. He explains how Tampa used its rest advantage to build a targeted game plan, then how Pittsburgh adjusted by attacking downfield with Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf on offense and changing its approach to the Bucs' undrafted rookie quarterback on defense. He credits young players like Jeremy Bernard and Jaylen Everett for recovering from early mistakes, and singles out Mike McCarthy's fourth-quarter clock management and the two passes from the 2-yard line as his one real concern.
