Can Heyward, who I think most will agree is having a stellar season, needs one more sack to reach 10 which would make him the first Steelers D-lineman to record double digit sacks since Keith Willis did it in 1982.

Cam Heyward is the AFC defensive player of the week

Defensive end Cam Heyward has been leading the way for the Steelers defense all season and last Sunday night’s game against the Packers was no exception.
Heyward had six tackles and two sacks in Pittsburgh’s 31-28 win in Green Bay, which extended their winning streak to six games and solified their hold on the top spot in the AFC North. Heyward was named the AFC’s defensive player of the year as a result.
One of Heyward’s sacks pushed the Packers back three yards ahead of a Mason Crosby field goal try in the third quarter. Crosby missed from 57 yards and the Steelers tied the game with a touchdown on the ensuing possession.
It’s the third time that Heyward has had two sacks in a game this season and he’s now established a new career high with nine for the year.

Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment
