PITTSBURGH – QB Mike Glennon threw a game-winning fi ve-yard touchdown pass to WR Vincent Jackson with seven seconds left to give the Buccaneers a 27-24 victory at Heinz Field. On the Steelers opening drive of the game the Buccaneers got after QB Ben Roethlisberger, sacking him on consecutive plays On third-and-16, DE Michael Johnson sacked and stripped Roethlisberger and the fumble was recovered by Tampa Bay. Two plays la ter, Glennon threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to WR Mike Evans to give Tampa Bay a 7-0 lead. The Buccaneers forced the Steelers to punt on their next possession. Tampa Bay capped off that drive with a 50-yard fi eld goal by K Patrick Murray to increase their lead 10-0. Pittsburgh responded on their next possession driving 73 yards on 10 plays. K Shaun Suisham nailed a 25-yard fi eld goal to cut the lead 10-3. The Steelers then scored two straight touchdowns thanks toRoethlisberger and WR Antonio Brown. Roethlisberger and Brown connected on an 11-yard score and then a 27-yard score to give Pittsburgh a 17-10 lead going into halftime. Tampa Bay marched 80 yards on eight plays on its opening drive of the second half. RB Doug Martin scored on a three-yard run to tie the game 17-17. But the Steelers scored a touchdown on their next drive when Roethlisberger found TE Heath Miller for a fi ve-yard touchdown to give Pittsburgh another seven-point advantage, 24-17.
