Cam Heyward had been penalized for unnecessary roughness just two times in his career prior to last Sunday's 41-37 loss to the Chargers.
Yet because of one moment, he's now being painted as a dirty player for what happened at the end of a 36-yard scramble by Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert in that game.
Heyward chased Herbert down from behind, landing on the back of the quarterback, something that is perfectly legal since Herbert was a runner. But several Chargers players come in and begin pulling at Heyward, whose hand was trapped underneath Herbert.
