The strength of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense was supposed to be in their front seven. The first three weeks said otherwise as they failed to turn their pressures into sacks. That all changed today with a barrage of sacks against the Minnesota Vikings.
Cam Heyward thinks that’s just the beginning for this defense.
“I think it was about time we had that,” Heyward said via the Steelers’ YouTube after their 24-21 win. “Week in and week out we’re getting better and better. Our communication, our stunts, understanding what our offense is trying to do. I think this was the first game we really stopped the run to an extent.
