This time last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers struggled to stop a historically bad Cincinnati Bengals rushing attack. In the Thursday Night Football loss, they allowed the Bengals to run for 142 yards on 23 carries, a robust 6.2 yards per tote.
That performance by the Steelers’ defense left team captain and standout defensive lineman Cameron Heyward furious after the loss. A few days later on his podcast he continued to talk about how frustrated he was with the run defense as a unit, stating guys were out of gaps and not playing as a unit.
Heyward doubled down on that Thursday during his session with the media.
