Cam Heyward has truly turned back the clock in 2024, but it likely means very little to the Pittsburgh Steelers defender, as the team has once again failed to win when it matters most—in the playoffs.
The veteran defender sympathizes with Steelers fans and is equally frustrated himself, as evident when discussing the team’s playoff woes on his podcast, Not Just Football with Cam Heyward.
Heyward explained exactly why the team continues to struggle early in these playoff contests:
“Defense is not getting off the field—not getting three-and-outs. Offense not scoring any points.”
Touching specifically on the loss to the Ravens, Heyward continued to rip into the team’s performance:
“I thought the offense came out in the second half and played a lot better, but it was a hole that was dug pretty deep.”
There is no sugarcoating it—the Pittsburgh Steelers are a terrible first-half football team.

While it’s a start that the veteran DT is addressing the slow starts, but the bigger question remains on how to correct it—and hopefully it is answered in time for Heyward to win his Super Bowl before retirement.
