Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward has been named the AFC “Defensive Player of the Week”. Heyward had two sacks in the Steelers victory over the Green Bay Packers Sunday. It was the second straight game he had multiple sacks. He leads the Steelers with nine sacks this season. That is the most for a Steelers defensive end since Keith Willis had 12 sacks in 1986. Willis holds the record for most sacks for a Steelers defensive end with 14 in 1983. The Steelers visit Cincinnati Monday night.
