Heyward: Steelers’ Defense ‘Needed Contributions From Everybody’ In Win Over Titans

After days of talking about the Steelers needing to step up on the defensive side of the football, make some plays and get back on track, the Steelers’ defense did just that on Sunday, forcing four turnovers and holding the Tennessee Titans’ offense to just 13 points in a 19-13 win, keeping Pittsburgh alive in the AFC playoff picture.

Along with the four turnovers, a key stop late on fourth down late in the game by Joe Haden on a completion to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine won the game for the Steelers, which just so happened to be in his first game back after missing more than a month with a foot injury.
