The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a 20-18 Week 6 upset of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers down multiple starters, including starting safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and starting corners Cameron Sutton, Ahkello Witherspoon and Levi Wallace. Despite a unit that featured guys who began the week on the practice squad like cornerbacks Josh Jackson and Quincy Wilson getting snaps, the Steelers were able to mix coverages and not let Buccaneers’ quarterback Tom Brady settle in, as Brady put up a rather pedestrian 243 yards on a 62% completion percentage. Tre Norwood, who filled in for Fitzpatrick at safety, said it began on the practice field so the defense could get all the communication down.
