ATLANTA -- Before heading to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, Connor and Cameron Heyward made the 35-mile trip to Lawrenceville, Georgia to be close to their dad.
Together, the brothers -- also Pittsburgh Steelers teammates -- visited Craig "Ironhead" Heyward's grave at Gwinnett Memorial Park where he was buried in 2006 after a long battle with cancer. Hours later, Connor scored his first career NFL touchdown at the home of the Atlanta Falcons, the same organization where his dad played for three seasons and rushed for a career-high 1,083 yards in 1995 -- the last time a fullback had a 1,000-yard rushing season -- and earned a Pro Bowl nod.
