Cam Heyward registered the first of the Steelers' seven sacks on the Bengals' first snap of their first series in Sunday's season opener in Cincinnati. He was still out there with a minute to go in overtime before getting hurt on the 98th of 100 plays the Bengals would run in the marathon contest that didn't end until Chris Boswell booted a 53-yarder to end it.
The Steelers created tremendous pressure on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow throughout the game, due in part to a liberal defensive line rotation. The Steelers played all six defensive tackles they dressed, and none of them played more than 60% of the snaps in the game.
Heyward led all defensive linemen with 57 snaps, followed by Larry Ogunjobi with 53, Chris Wormley 41, Tyson Alualu 33, DeMarvin Leal 15 and Montravius Adams 5.
