The Bucs had few high grades or performances in Week 2 of the preseason. The good should outweigh the bad, as they were able to pull away at the last second from a tough Steelers team. After dominating in joint practice on Thursday, Pittsburgh made its adjustments and came back stronger, and tested Tampa Bay.

Their timely takeaways were pivotal in building and preserving the lead. Chris Braswell also made a game-changing impact with a sack in key moments, reinforcing the defense’s disruptive presence. The team's six interceptions are the most by any team in the preseason.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their second preseason game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-14 in a sloppy affair. However, while the team sat most of their starters, the Steelers did put some of their rookies, such as Derrick Harmon and Kaleb Johnson on the field for a second look.
