The Tampa Bay Buccaneers turned Week 6 into a statement, burying the Pittsburgh Steelers 48-13 at home. There was no suspense after the early going, only a scoreboard that kept climbing. For a Buccaneers team looking to establish itself as a contender in the 2026 season, this was the kind of complete afternoon that gets noticed around the league. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, leaves Tampa with far more questions than answers. Baker Mayfield operated with total command, throwing for 234 yards and three touchdowns while spreading the damage in chunks rather than drips. His favorite target was Chris Godwin Jr, who went for a monstrous 220 receiving yards and looked uncoverable from the opening drive on. The connection between the two turned short and intermediate throws into explosive plays all afternoon. Pittsburgh's lone bright spot came on the ground, where Rico Dowdle churned out 106 rushing yards, though the production rarely translated into points. Defensively, Tampa Bay made life miserable for the visitors. Calijah Kancey led the way with six total tackles, Chris Braswell got home for a sack, and Jacob Parrish came away with an interception that helped flip the field. That takeaway was the turning point, snuffing out any hope of a Pittsburgh push and handing the Buccaneers offense another short field to exploit. Once Mayfield and Godwin cashed in again, the rout was on and the Steelers never recovered.
