Cam Heyward On Defensive Struggles: ‘It’s Groundhog Day’

Wake up, do the same thing, go to sleep. Rinse, repeat. That is the premise of the 1993 film Groundhog Day. And right now, Cam Heyward is feeling a lot like Bill Murray.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are exiting yet another game in which their defense had similar issues. They allowed 242 yards on the ground, 205 of those to Dalvin Cook, with a large chunk of those coming in the first half. Pittsburgh cleaned up their issues in the second half but repeatedly, the defense has had pockets in which they would’ve been better off playing Bill Murray at linebacker.
