‘Thought They Were Gonna Blow It Dead’: Cam Heyward Frustrated With Failed Sack Of Joe Flacco

On a second and 10 from the Indianapolis 30-yard line in a 17-10 game, it appeared that Pittsburgh Steelers star defensive lineman Cameron Heyward had made a game-changing play.

Heyward used a great rush to beat Colts left guard Quenton Nelson and then got his hands on Colts quarterback Joe Flacco, wrapping him up for what should have been a sack.

Instead, Flacco was able to spin out of the sack attempt and throw the football away, living to fight another down. That play ended up being rather huge as the Colts ultimately went down and scored a touchdown on the drive with Flacco hitting tight end Drew Ogletree on a 15-yard touchdown nine plays later.
