Cam Heyward: I challenged everyone on our defense to be better

Our Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing defensive struggles, allowing 33 points in a Week 7 loss to the Bengals and 35 points to the Packers. This performance comes ahead of a crucial game against the league's top offense, the Indianapolis Colts. A loss could narrow their lead over the Ravens in the AFC North to just one game. Veteran defensive end Cam Heyward has emphasized the need for improvement, urging his teammates to deliver a more complete effort. Head coach Mike Tomlin has currently opted against making significant defensive changes, but continued poor performances may necessitate adjustments to maintain the team's competitive standing.
