Cam Heyward set the stage on Saturday by running through the tunnel of Acrisure Stadium carrying a No. 32 flag, honoring the late Franco Harris who was set to have his number retired at halftime.
When the actual game against the Raiders kicked off, he set the pace.
On Wednesday, Heyward was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 16. He had seven tackles -- three of them for a loss -- two sacks and a pass defended.
Heyward joked after the game Saturday that a good night's sleep and a nap helped his performance.
