The #1 matchup I circled heading into Sunday’s Steelers/Colts game was Cam Heyward versus LG Quenton Nelson. Two great players going at it in the trenches. I thought it’d be an even, back-and-forth battle.
I was wrong. But in a good way, the best time to be wrong. Heyward won this one in a TKO. Posted some of the clips on Twitter and wanted to share the love here. Because this performance was too good not to include in an article.
First clip. Granted, little tougher for Nelson here with the back cutting back but Heyward avoids getting sealed down and is able to stay square, keep his eyes on the football, and shed Nelson to tackle Marlon Mack for just a one yard gain.
