Half-Time Report: Pittsburgh Steelers rally to lead by seven against Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a seven-point lead at the break in their clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Heinz Field.

The Pittsburgh Steelers rallied from 10 points down to lead 17-10 at the break in their NFL clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Heinz Field.

The Buccaneers got off to the perfect start in the game when defensive end Michael Johnson got to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and sacked him, forcing a fumble.

The visitors gathered the ball and took over on offense. Mike Glennon then lifted a fade to the back of the endzone for a touchdown to receiver Mike Evans, for his first score in his NFL career.

A 25-yard punt return from Solomon Patton set up another score for the Buccaneers as Glennon put his side inside field goal range, and rookie Patrick Murray nailed his 50-yard kick through the posts.

The Steelers managed to get back on track when Roethlisberger connected with Markus Wheaton on two big completions downfield, but were forced to settle for three points from the boot of Shaun Suisham.

Pittsburgh drew level when Roethlisberger moved his side back into the redzone and, on third down and goal, found Antonio Brown on a slant route for an 11-yard score.

The home side took the lead for the first time in the game when Roethlisberger lofted a throw deep into the endzone for Brown, and the receiver made an incredible catch to haul in the ball for the 27-yard touchdown.
