Joe Burrow threw a career-high four interceptions in Week One against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cam Heyward wishes it was five. It nearly was but the scorers that game concluded a sack/forced fumble instead of an interception, giving Heyward a fumble recovery as opposed to his third career pick.
Heading into the rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals, Heyward hasn’t forgotten that moment.
“I was mad we didn’t make five picks,” he told reporters via Steelers.com Thursday. “I was thinking that one was for me.”
Pittsburgh’s defense harassed Burrow all game long. From the very first snap, Heyward picked up his first sack of the season with Minkah Fitzpatrick pick-sixing Burrow the next play.
