If you go back and watch any of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final five games of the 2024 season, including the playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, you’ll see some disturbing reoccurrences. You’ll routinely see opposing offensive players running wide-open against the Steelers’ defense. And for Steelers DL Cam Heyward, that’s not okay.
Heyward and the rest of his defensive teammates form a proud bunch. But they struggled mightily against the best teams that they faced down the stretch. And while head coach Mike Tomlin wants to shoulder the blame for the team’s struggles, Heyward isn’t willing to let himself or the rest of the players off the hook after another first-round playoff exit.
