It was sweet for the Steelers to get a 26-18 win over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, winning the 22nd straight MNF game in franchise history and improving to 6-2 entering the bye week.
But the win over the Giants was all the sweeter for Pittsburgh’s team captain and standout defensive end Cameron Heyward. In the win over the Giants, Heyward became the Steelers’ all-time games played leader in franchise history on the defensive side of the football.
Heyward appeared in his 202nd game as a Steeler on Monday night, passing Hall of Fame safety Donnie Shell in the process.
