PITTSBURGH — Longtime Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward will enter the team's record book when Pittsburgh hosts the New York Giants. Heyward will play in his 202nd regular-season game, breaking a tie with Hall of Fame defensive back Donnie Shell for the most by a defender in team history. The 35-year-old Heyward remains a force in his 14th season. He has three sacks already to boost his career total to 83 1/2, the most ever by a Pittsburgh defensive lineman. The NFL's 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year is also a fixture in the Steelers community, where his foundation focuses on things such as childhood literacy and fighting cancer.
