Joe Burrow praises Steelers' Cameron Heyward after dominant performance


In the aftermath of a frustrating offensive performance, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow took a moment to spotlight an opponent who made a significant impact: Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward.

After a challenging 2023 season marred by injury, Heyward has roared back in 2024, delivering another standout showing with five tackles, including two for loss, a pass defended, and his fifth sack of the season.

Burrow acknowledged Heyward's pivotal 3rd quarter sack, an eight-yard loss that underscored the veteran defender's dominant presence.

"Cam Heyward made a great play," Burrow said of his takedown by Heyward.

The performance further cements Heyward's reputation as a relentless force and locker room leader.
