The Steelers didn’t have much go their way in the first half.
An Aaron Rodgers’ pass pinballed around before A’Shawn Robinson intercepted it for the Bucs; Chris Boswell missed a 48-yard field goal wide left; and Germie Bernard had a first down beyond the line of scrimmage before going backward to try to make more yards on fourth down, and the Steelers turned it over on downs.
The Steelers finally got on the board on the final play of the first half on Boswell’s 52-yard field goal.
