Watch: Cam Heyward won’t be denied his sack

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

Cameron Heyward is low-key the biggest secret of the 2017 Pittsburgh Steelers defense. After being placed on IR last season, Heyward has seemingly come back with a vengeance, leading the team in sacks through Week 11.

One of his team-high seven sacks came at the expense of Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota on Thursday Night Football. With the Steelers up nine points midway through the third quarter, the defense was backed up to their own 11-yard line and facing a 3rd-and-4, Heyward wasn’t going to be denied making a big play. The defensive end rumbles forward, overpowering his one-on-one matchup and grabbing ahold of Mariota… and not letting go!

The play would go down as a loss of 15 yards and force the Titans to kick a field goal: their last points of the game.
