"We just think we gotta be the reason why we win. Simple as that."
Whoa. Cam Heyward really just threw that out there. And he wasn't done.
"We know we got all the pieces on offense, but going forward, we feel like we have to win it from here on out. I'm confident and fine with saying that. It just means we gotta get the job done."
Heyward said all this while standing at his locker at the Rooney Complex, not a hint of doubt in his voice or in his eyes. It was an authoritative statement — exactly the kind of thing you'd hope a veteran leader would say when his team is 2-4 and in "survival" mode, as Ramon Foster put it before the team's Week 6 matchup against the Chargers.
