NFL wrap: Brady curses out teammates in loss; Jets shock Packers

Mitch Trubisky came on for an injured Kenny Pickett to throw a six-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ maligned defense made it stand up in a stunning 20-18 win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Steelers (2-4) snapped a four-game losing streak by relying on a largely anonymous defense missing almost its entire starting secondary.

Brady struggled to take advantage behind an offensive line that had issues protecting him. The 45-year-old at one point excoriated the line for underperforming against a team that had just three sacks in the last four games coming in.

“You’re so much better than the way you’re fucking playing,” Brady said to his linemen before unleashing several more curses.

He completed 25 of 40 passes for 243 yards and an 11-yard touchdown to Leonard Fournette with 4:38 remaining to cut Pittsburgh’s lead to two. Steelers linebacker Devin Bush broke up the two-point conversion attempt and Pittsburgh ran out the clock behind Trubisky to avoid their first 1-5 start since 1988.

Breece Hall ran for 116 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown, the surprising Jets sacked Aaron Rodgers four times and New York won their third straight with a 27-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

The Jets (4-2) are off to their best six-game start since 2015, when they also were 4-2 before finishing with a 10-6 record. New York haven’t reached the playoffs since the 2010 season, the NFL’s longest active drought. Green Bay (3-3) have lost consecutive regular-season games within the same season for the first time since coach Matt LaFleur’s arrival in 2019.
