On Saturday evening the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off their second preseason game of the 2025 campaign in Pittsburgh, where they faced off against the Steeler

Rookie wide receiver and return specialist Tez Johnson is poised to make his NFL debut this Saturday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second preseason game.

In the Steelers’ preseason Week 2 matchup, rookie DL Derrick Harmon ran through Buccaneers LG Ben Scott for his first sack in Pittsburgh.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved to 2-0 on the preseason with a 17-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night. Teddy Bridgewater made his first appearance and threw a pair of touchdown passes after signing a deal with the Buccaneers at the beginning of August.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held a joint practice session at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The NFL season kicks off September 4 with a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.

Teddy Bridgewater isn't where he wants to be. He recently signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be a backup quarterback. But he wishes he wasn't even in the NFL at the moment. Bridgewater would rather be coaching. He was the head coach at Miami Northwestern High School. But he was suspended there for giving improper benefits to players.

Their combined road ATS record the past 2 seasons is 13-5. This season's Bucs should be even more dynamic with Bucky Irving fully entrenched as the starting RB, Chris Godwin back healthy, Emeka Egbuka as WR3 and the ageless Mike Evans poised for another, record-breaking, 1,000-yard season.

Auman notes that Tampa Bay's decision to release safety Marcus Banks and to place fellow safety J.J. Robert son injured reserve could open the door for Sanders, who will now be competing with Kaevon Merriweather and Rashad Wisdom for the fourth and final safety slot on the roster.
