Heyward finished the game with seven tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss and one pass defended. On the season, Heyward has 62 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks and three passes defended.

In a season when the Pittsburgh defense has been inconsistent, Heyward remains a constant. Not only a tremendous talent on the field but a leader. Heyward is also a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his charity work off the field.
