Heyward: Blitz-Happy Approach ‘Just The Flavor Of The Cake This Week’

The Pittsburgh Steelers have led the NFL in sacks for three years running. They are currently in second place in 2020 through two games with 10 sacks, one behind the Washington Football Team, but they have been generating by far the highest rate of pressure in the NFL, led by a dominant front four in T.J. Watt, Bud Dupree, Cameron Heyward, and Stephon Tuitt, who have combined for five sacks and more than 50 pressures so far.

But it hasn’t come just from the front. Of their 10 sacks, four have come from off-ball players, including three in the secondary.
