Sim Life with ‘Madden NFL 19’: Steelers at Bucs

‘Monday Night Football’: Pittsburgh slips by Tampa

Big game on tap this week as the drama-filled Pittsburgh Steelers hit the road to face one of the league’s biggest surprises. Will Tampa Bay Buccaneer Ryan Fitzpatrick’s magic continue and finally settle who’s the real QB1 in Tampa? Let’s see what Madden NFL 19 has to say.

STEELERS at BUCS

Top things to 👀

  • Will the Steelers’ rough start continue?

  • Fitzpatrick became the first player to record back-to-back 400-yard, four-touchdown games to start a season. Can he pull off a third?

  • According to ESPN’s “Matchup Predictor,” the Steelers have a 53.1 percent chance to get the win.

In what turned out to be a defensive battle, Pittsburgh got the nod in this one, coming away with a 10-9 victory, thanks to placekicker Chris Boswell’s 22-yard, game-winning field goal with two seconds left.

Not a lot of Fitz magic in this one, and while Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had an up-and-down game, he was able to hook up with wide receiver Antonio Brown on a big 91-yard score in the third quarter.
