Cameron Heyward’s flu game did not go as well as Michael Jordan’s. While the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman did everything he possibly could to help the Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals, with three key deflections, the Steelers lost 19-17 and Heyward revealed after the game that he played Pittsburgh’s regular-season finale with the flu.
“I have the flu,” Heyward said. “It started last night, and just been dealing with it,” Heyward said via the team’s YouTube channel.
Heyward didn’t sound right during his press conference and was asked if he had a cold before telling the media that he’s been dealing with the flu.
