Cam Heyward will make Steelers history vs. Giants

PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward will play in his 202nd game with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. That’s the most by any defensive player in franchise history. That’s a remarkable achievement, especially considering all of the great defensive players that have donned the Black and Gold.

Only five other players in franchise history have reached the 200 game milestone — Mel Blount (200), Donnie Shell (201), Hines Ward (217), Mike Webster (220) and Ben Roethlisberger (249). Heyward will surpass Blount and Shell on the all-time list on Monday night when the Steelers take on the New York Giants at Acrisure Stadium.
