Cam Heyward

I heard that he had a sack on his first play of the 2022 season, and his last play, too. I can't seem to verify it anywhere, but that is a very cool stat.

Love the guy.

Wasn’t the first play in 2022 a pick 6 by Minkah?

Sack, then pick-6.

Wow!!
THAT is how a defense is supposed to start the season.

Cam didn't make that sack to let Minkah in on the fun.

[Captain Lemming]

Hey, doesn't THAT ALSO MEAN Minkah PICKED both the first and the last pass thrown?

[Rocky Mtn]

Eerie.

if it's a sack, it can't be a pick six can it? Sack means he didn't get to pass it... maybe fumble recovery?

I looked it up. The first play was a sack by Cam. The second play was a pass - a pick-6 by Minkah.

Yes, it appears Minkah also had a nice start and finish to the season.

Steelers DT Cameron Heyward makes decision on football future

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 1/11/23

Following the Steelers' regular-season finale, DT Cameron Heyward seemed to be questioning his future. After wanting to "take time to think," he's made his decision.

"I don't think I'm retiring right now," Heyward said on his "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast. "I gotta give my body time to rest ... I want to keep playing. I want to continue to be a Pittsburgh Steeler."

Heyward is turning 34-years-old in May, but just put together one of the best seasons of his career. He had 74 tackles, 10.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.

Heyward's retirement would have come as a surprise to many after he signed a four-year contract extension in 2020.

But the most surprised person may have been his younger brother, Connor Heyward, who said he believes [Cam] still has "three, four years left."

I'm not sure if Heyward will stick around that much longer, but he certainly has the incentive to play at least another year. The veteran is just 2.5 sacks away from breaking James Harrison's franchise sack record (80.5).

Heyward is still hoping to get a ring as well, but needs to make sure he's still able to put his full time and effort into the game.

"When I do something, I put my whole heart into it. But I have to do what's best for me. I have to do what's best for my family," Heyward added.

It will be a sad day in Pittsburgh whenever Heyward decides it's time to hang up his cleats. But luckily for Steelers fans, it won't be in 2023.

Cam is amazing, and while his snap counts were down (75%) he still lead the interior DL by a large margin. Just have to get him more help to extend his career, he may be like Calais Campbell and be able to play at a high level for a few more years.
