Steelers Cam Heyward Named AFC Defensive Player Of The Week

(WPXI) –  Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday after a ferocious performance against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday in Pittsburgh’s 13-10 win.  This is Heyward’s first such honor this season, but his play over the last two weeks has been All-Pro worthy. Heyward has racked up 3.5 sacks and 14 pressures over the last two games. Against the Raiders, he registered two QB Hits, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, and seven pressures on the day. It was a performance worthy of such an honor as Heyward continues to get better as the season goes on.
