After his dominating performance against the Green Bay Packers, Cam Heyward was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. While the Steelers continue to rack up wins, their players are being recognized with their gamechanging plays.
This is Heyward’s second Defensive Player of the Week award of his career and the 2017 season, his first coming in Week 4. The last Steelers player to win multiple Defensive Player of the Week awards during one season was future Hall of Famer, Troy Polamalu in 2010.
After missing a majority of the 2016 season, Heyward has come back better than ever.
