Watch: Pressure by McCullers leads to Dupree pick six

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2018 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

Following a precision punt by the Steelers Jordan Berry, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were pinned deep into their own territory, beginning their next drive at their own two-yard line.

After stopping Jacquizz Rodgers for no gain, Tampa QB Ryan Fitzpatrick would drop back to pass on second down as DT Dan McCullers, a mountain of a man, pushes the pile. One-on-one with Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen, McCullers forces his way toward Fitzpatrick, who releases the ball but overthrows his intended target Jacquizz Rodgers, due to having a mammoth man with his hand in his face!

The beneficiary of the bad pass was Steelers LB Bud Dupree, who recognizes his responsibility is upfield but turns just in time to find the ball right in his bread basket, catching and returning it for a defensive touchdown.
