Steelers' Heyward, NFL reach deal on eye black

The NFL has come to an agreement with Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward over his fines for wearing eye black honoring his late father Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, reducing his fine with the stipulation he would represent his father in other ways, a source said Tuesday night.

Heyward had a conference call with the league over the original fine of $5,787 for wearing the eye black during last week's Monday Night Football against the San Diego Chargers.

He again wore the eye black Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, which would have been a $11,576 fine for a second offense.
