Germie Bernard caps off historic day with first career touchdown

By Andrew Hammond | ahammond@al.comSunday’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers provided a lot more drama than fans of both teams probably anticipated. And a former Crimson Tide receiver helped determining the game’s final outcome. Ex-Crimson Tide receiver Germie Bernard caught the first touchdown of his NFL career, which proved to be a winner in the Steelers 26-19 victory over the Bucs in overtime. On Pittsburgh’s first possession in the extra frame, Rodgers found Bernard for the six-yard score. Bernard’s 11 receptions for 87 yards in Sunday’s game are a new Steelers record for catches by a rookie wide receiver, breaking the previous franchise mark held by JuJu Smith-Schuster, who had nine.
