Heyward: Defensive Focus Against Texans QB Watson Is Controlling Rush Lanes

The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the 0-2 Houston Texans on Sunday at Heinz field and that means their defense will be saddled with the big chore of containing quarterback Deshaun Watson. On Wednesday, Steelers defensive captain Cameron Heyward addressed the media prior to the team’s practice, and he was asked what the biggest focus is for the defense against the Texans on Sunday. Not surprisingly, Heyward pointed to containing Watson’s mobility.

“I think rush lanes,” Heyward said. “Deshaun will make you pay if you give him more time and he’s got some really good receivers in [Will] Fuller and Randall Cobb.
