It’s not often that a player spends 15 years with the same NFL franchise, not to mention with the same head coach. Cam Heyward’s entire NFL journey, which is likely to one day end in Canton, has been under the tutelage of Mike Tomlin. That’s why he couldn’t believe what he was hearing when the home crowd at Acrisure Stadium enthusiastically rained down “Fire Tomlin” chants two weeks ago against the Buffalo Bills.
“I took it as it was a reflection on us as players because coach can only do so much,” Heyward told Hannah Storm in an interview on ESPN’s SportsCenter.
