Steelers’ Cam Heyward Takes Umbrage With Ben Roethlisberger’s Critical Comments

Cam Heyward of the Steelers expresses outrage at Ben Roethlisberger’s harsh remarks on his podcast Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger this week. The former Steelers quarterback went on a rant and controversially questioned the integrity of the team’s leadership this season.

The Steelers’ losses to inferior opponents in the previous two games are the source of the criticism. The Patriots and Cardinals both had two wins going into their recent games against Pittsburgh.)

According to Roethlisberger, he is concerned that the “Steelers tradition” and “Steelers toughness” he was aware of have not been passed down to new team members.

Roethlisberger concluded by saying, “You need someone to stand up in that room on offense and be like, “Hey, this isn’t what it means to wear the Black and Gold.” “

Cameron Heyward, a defensive lineman for the Steelers and one of the current captains of the team, did not particularly appreciate the former captain’s comment. 

“Ben has an opinion, as you know. He has a right to that. But I don’t agree with that,” Heyward stated on Thursday’s episode of NFL Network’s Good Morning Football. Although these two games have been difficult, the Steelers’ strategy emphasizes perseverance regardless of the situation. Therefore, there is a lot that can be done to change it, and the tradition begins with winning games, playing good defense, and scoring points. Therefore, we hope to adjust that this week.

The Steelers, who are 7–6 in their last six games, currently hold the No. 6 spot in the AFC season finisher picture. On Saturday, they take on the Colts (7–6) in Indianapolis at 4:30 p.m. ET.
