Aaron Rodgers took control of Steelers play-calling in 4th quarter

Aaron Rodgers took over Steelers play-calling late against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, helping trigger a late comeback and an eventual overtime win. Down 16 points entering the fourth quarter, Pittsburgh’s offense struggled early. On teammate Cameron Heyward’s podcast, rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard said Rodgers calmly told the huddle he would gain control and call the plays they needed, then emphasized execution. Bernard added that Rodgers’ poise steadied the unit as the deficit vanished in the final frame. The rally ended with Rodgers connecting with Bernard for an overtime touchdown pass, after the Steelers erased the 16-point margin.
