It was the Buccaneers’ defense. “It’s another great opportunity,” Pickett said. “But I’m going against the defense,” he added. The Steelers are in crucial need to get back into momentum after a series of defeats in the NFL. As evident in the QBs words, they will look to play an aggressive game and give a challenge to Buccaneers.

Brady has a point to prove against the Steelers

The last three weeks have been enduring for the NFL GOAT. Tom Terrific faced NFL superstars, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes in the first two weeks. The 45-year-old was in the news in the Falcons game, after the Bucs were awarded a penalty. 

The legend has set sights to win his eighth Super Bowl title. However, the NFL icon will have to play his best game to take the Bucs into the playoffs. A win against the Steelers will make it back-to-back wins for the team. Hence, Todd Bowles and Co. will look to stage domination and get back on track.
