When it comes to sports, the team comes before the individual. Play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back. The Pittsburgh Steelers Wild Card loss is a team loss. Everyone in that locker room, every person in that organization, feels the weight of defeat. It’ll linger throughout the offseason until they turn the page and report for training camp in late July.
But the loss highlights two players more than anyone else on the roster. T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. Two tremendous players and people who define what it means to be a Steeler.
