At 32 years old, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward continues to play some of the best football of his entire career. While he has 11 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and three batted passes so far, the numbers don’t really show you just how well he has been playing.
But more isn’t always more in terms of the relationship between playing time and performance. The Steelers are trying to have more of a rotation along the defensive line, but injuries are complicating that. Stephon Tuitt started the season on the Reserve/Injured List, and it’s not clear how soon he will be back.
