So here’s the deal: Cam Heyward, the guy who looks like he could bench-press a small car, just snagged the record for most games played by a defensive player with the Pittsburgh Steelers. We’re talking about 202 games! That’s like showing up to work every day for over 14 years and not taking a single sick day. He breaks this record against the Giants, a team that seems to have as many injuries as they have players. It’s like they’re fielding a team of backup quarterbacks and practice squad rookies. But hey, that’s football! Heyward’s big moment came when he was on the field for a kick protection play. Can we just appreciate the fact that this guy is a defensive tackle but also doing special teams? It’s like watching a lion serve drinks at a cocktail party. He started at defensive tackle and was credited with a record number of starts, officially kicking Donnie Shell out of the record books like a bad habit. Now, he’s only behind a few offensive legends, which is pretty impressive for a guy who spends most of his time tackling people for a living. Meanwhile, the Giants were missing half their cornerbacks and had a guy named Tommy DeVito as their emergency quarterback. I mean, at that point, you might as well put a fan in a jersey and call him up. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, former Steeler Joey Porter twirled the Terrible Towel like a pro. It’s like a family reunion with a bunch of former players, and Cam is the star of the show. So, hats off to you, Cam Heyward! Keep smashing those records and maybe even bring a few of those giants down to size along the way.
