Even though they’re one of the winningest and most popular franchises in NFL history, the Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-0 to start a season for the first time ever. Obviously, they aren’t short of doubters, but their fans are convinced that they can go the distance and win another Super Bowl.
The Steelers have made quite a couple of statements by beating contending teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans, although they’ve also struggled vs. the Dallas Cowboys and their 4th-string quarterback.
So, considering that logging such an impressive streak in the NFL is extremely tough, Hollywood superstar and diehard Steelers’ fan Robert Downey Jr reached out to Cam Heyward to demand another win:
Robert Downey Jr Urges Steelers To Beat The Bengals
“Mr. Heyward, Cam. It’s about freaking time buddy,” Downey Jr. said. “I did not know this was a game jersey. Let’s go for 9-0. I know this can seem like a bit of a trap game. (…) And I believe that Ironhead is going to need an iron hand so this is coming your way brother. Thank you. Love you. Go Steelers. Numero uno for freaking ever. Boom boom,” the actor added.

It’s also worth noting that Heyward’s dad Craig Heyward was nicknamed Iron Head back in the day, so it’s only fitting to see Iron Man himself giving his son a shoutout and demanding he delivers when it matters the most.
The Steelers are set to host Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals for a tough divisional matchup and you better know that the first overall pick of the NFL Draft will be looking to upset the only undefeated team in the league,so they must be cautious of being overconfident despite their superior record. I mean, of all the people in the world, you don’t want Iron Man to get upset.
