Though the Pittsburgh Steelers defense was able to record five turnovers—some of which were gifts from the San Francisco 49ers by virtue of a pair of botched exchanges and a dropped pass popped up in the air—captain Cameron Heyward takes no solace in that in the team’s 24-20 loss.
He knows his group had a chance to close the door in the fourth quarter, having multiple different leads in the second half, including a 20-17 lead heading into the 49ers’ final meaningful possession of the game. Jimmy Garoppolo led a 4:14 minute drive that ended up in the end zone for the game-winning score.
