The Bucs took it down to the wire but they were able to secure a win and as a result we now get to disect the game.

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.

The Bucs' offense hit a lull after the first quarter, while the Steelers put up 17. Connor Bazelak took over at quarterback in the third quarter and finished completing 14 of 18 attempts for 106 yards. In the final three seconds of the game, Chase McLaughlin drilled a 43-yard field goal to give the Bucs a 17-14 victory on the road.
