<p>Week 13 of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> delivered one of the most exciting matchups in the AFC. <strong>Josh Allen</strong>’s <strong>Buffalo Bills</strong> held the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> to a minimum, securing a crucial win to boost their playoff hopes.</p>



<p>The game got so physical that the clashes often overshadowed the actual play. One of the most notable came between the Bills’ QB and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward">Cam Heyward</a>, the star of the Steelers’ defense. <strong>A knee to the stomach of the defensive tackle sparked a heated face-off and fiery postgame remarks.</strong></p>



<p><em>“[I was] ticked off the entire game because, as a quarterback, they’re protected, but I’m not,”</em> Heyward said to the press. <strong><em>“It just pisses me off.”</em></strong> Allen managed to get number 97 rattled right in the middle of the game—a very clever play.</p>



<p>In fact, Heyward himself confirmed this in the locker room, referring to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen">Allen</a>’s strategy to throw him off his game: <strong><em>“He even said after, ‘I had to do something to get you off me.&apos;”</em></strong></p>

<h2>Allen praises Heyward despite altercation</h2>



<p>A clash of titans, true heavyweights in the league. Josh Allen has been one of the top players at his position in recent years, and the same goes for Heyward, who has established himself as a cornerstone of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a>’ defense. For that reason, <strong>their dispute stayed on the field—at least from the QB’s perspective.</strong></p>

<h2>Bills and Steelers on the hunt for the Playoffs</h2>



<p>Both the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a> and the Pittsburgh Steelers remain firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot as the season winds down</strong>. The Bills are currently better positioned after securing a crucial victory directly against Pittsburgh, which gives them a significant edge in the AFC standings and potential tiebreakers. </p>



<p>While the Steelers still control their own destiny, they now face a tougher road and need to win out, likely depending on other teams’ results to secure a Wild Card berth. Both teams’ final schedules will be highly scrutinized as they fight for the postseason.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> regular season is slowly entering a decisive stage, where every win counts — and every loss can be a tough setback. <strong>Aaron Rodgers</strong>’ <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> looked lackluster in their visit to SoFi Stadium, falling decisively to the <strong>Los Angeles Chargers</strong>, though they still retain the lead in their division.</p>



<p>Veteran Steelers star <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward">Cam Heyward</a> was far from satisfied</strong> with his team’s performance and knows they’ll need to improve drastically if they hope to make a run at the playoffs.</p>



<p>In his postgame comments to the media, one of the franchise’s most experienced players was very outspoken, though optimistic that <strong>the team won’t make the same mistakes moving forward.</strong></p>



<p><em>“I’m not looking for an excuse,”</em> he said via the <em>WPXI ‘Black and Gold Zone’ post-game show. “I’m looking to just play better. We talk about it, but <strong>do we really know what we’re doing, play in and play out? Do we trust the guy next to us?</strong> Defense, offense, do we trust each other to be in the right spots to make plays?”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251110_BUS_523795_cam-heyward_414ce9e7.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Heyward" class="wp-image-523837"></figure><figcaption>Cameron Heyward #97 of the Pittsburgh Steelers.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Number 97 has proven to be one of the cornerstones of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a>’s Steelers, and his experience gives him confidence that these mistakes won’t be repeated moving forward. <strong><em>“Hopefully, we learn from out mistakes,”</em></strong> he finally concluded.</p>



<h2>Leaders despite the loss</h2>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-delivers-bold-three-word-response-about-aaron-rodgers-after-steelers-vs-chargers-game"></div>


<p>Despite a brutal 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that saw their lead shrink, the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) remain atop the AFC North standings</strong>. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> had arguably his worst performance of the season, throwing two interceptions, fumbling for a safety, and completing just over 50% of his passes for a meager 161 yards. </p>



<p>The offense’s inability to move the ball—converting only two third downs—kept the defense on the field too long, leading to the humbling defeat, but for now, the division crown remains theirs.</p>



<h2>Steelers’ upcoming games</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, despite a recent stumble, must immediately refocus as a brutal three-game stretch will heavily influence the AFC North race. The schedule is highlighted by two huge home games at Acrisure Stadium, first against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, followed by a pivotal AFC showdown against the surging Buffalo Bills. </p>



<p>Between those contests is a tricky road trip to face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. <strong>For Pittsburgh to maintain its slim lead in the North, their offense, led by Rodgers, must quickly return to form.</strong></p>

Aaron Rodgers, Steelers receive strong warning from key player after tough loss to Chargers

Aaron Rodgers, Steelers receive strong warning from key player after tough loss to Chargers - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> are 2-1 in the 2025 NFL season after securing a key Week 3 victory over the New England Patriots, 21-14. Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes, including a decisive one to Calvin Austin III in the final minutes of the game. However, a team icon like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cam Heyward</a></strong> criticized the defensive performance under <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong>.</p>



<p>Despite occasional criticisms, <strong>Pittsburgh’s defense was crucial to the win, forcing five turnovers, including a red zone interception and two goal-line stops</strong>. With this victory, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a> bounced back from their loss to the Seattle Seahawks and earned their first win in Foxborough since 2008.</p>



<p>Heyward emphasized that additional factors are needed for further improvement. <strong>The Steelers’ defensive captain expressed his frustration with the team’s performance in critical situations</strong>, which are central to the game plan <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tomlin</a> implements.</p>



<h2>Cam Heyward’s criticism</h2>



<p><em>“One thing we gotta clean up is our third-and-fourth down. <strong>It was not acceptable. You look at our team, and it’s not like we were in bad situations for the third downs.</strong> A lot of times it was third and six-plus. We gotta get off the field. It comes down to awareness, tackling and execution. We have to take those to heart, and we gotta be better. I’m not running away from that,”</em> Heyward said on his podcast Not Just Football.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250924_BUS_497757_mike-tomlin-10-1024x576_be3295a5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mike Tomlin Steelers head coach" class="wp-image-497637" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Heyward voiced his frustration with<strong> the defense’s performance on critical plays, known as <em>“money downs.”</em></strong> In particular, a 17-play series at the end of the first half highlighted Pittsburgh’s inability to stop their opponent in key moments.</p>

<h2>Tomlin and the Steelers prepare to travel to Ireland</h2>



<p>Pittsburgh will have a special date as they face the Vikings in Dublin in an NFL International Game next Sunday. <em><strong>“The physical work on this side of the trip is important for us.

Cam Heyward delivers a strong criticism on Mike Tomlin’s Steelers defense - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> have resolved one of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> offseason sagas by securing quarterback <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong>, but now they face a crossroads regarding the salary of one of their stars. One of the most experienced players on the roster, <strong>Cam Heyward</strong>, stepped up and sent a clear message to the organization on the matter.</p>



<p>Like A-Rod, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heyward</a> went through a lengthy process before signing his deal with the Steelers. The veteran defensive end secured a three-year<strong>, $45 million extension that guarantees his stay with the franchise through the 2026 season.</strong></p>



<p>Heyward’s renewal was not immediate, as he faced weeks of uncertainty while the front office evaluated <strong>the financial impact and his physical condition following a season hampered by injuries</strong>. Some time later, true to his honest style, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a>’ locker room leader shared his thoughts on the salary situation of a key teammate.</p>



<h2>Who is the player who received Heyward’s support?</h2>



<p>Heyward spoke candidly on the Rich Eisen Show about linebacker <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tj-watt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TJ Watt</a>’s situation, who is approaching the final year of his contract without a new deal signed. In this context, the veteran demanded that the Steelers pay Watt <strong><em>“what he deserves,”</em></strong> and advised the organization to do everything possible to retain him.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250716_BUS_442310_tj-watt-1024x576_fc61c301.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="TJ Watt Pittsburgh Steelers" class="wp-image-430123" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/01094350/tj-watt.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>T.J. Watt #90 of the Pittsburgh Steelers stretches before the start of the Steelers and Baltimore Ravens game at M&amp;T Bank Stadium on December 21, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. </figcaption></figure>



<p>Additionally, Heyward described Watt as “one of the fiercest and best players in the league” and emphasized that he doesn’t want him to leave Pittsburgh: <em><strong>“That’s my teammate, my running mate.”</strong></em> Time will tell if the pressure from one of the locker room leaders will have an effect in securing a contract extension for this key teammate.</p>

<h2>What salary is Watt asking for?</h2>



<p>Watt demands to be the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL, <strong>seeking to surpass Myles Garrett’s average annual value, set at a $40 million contract.</strong> The situation is tense for the Steelers, who have already invested in other positions, such as adding wide receiver DK Metcalf and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.</p>

Cam Heyward drops bold take on Steelers’ handling of salary for one of Rodgers’ key teammates

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> is nearing a final decision about his future in the 2025 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> season. His silence, or rather, his lack of confirmation, is causing ripples within the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> roster. During the preseason, a key figure on head coach <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong>’s team once again spoke out about A-Rod.</p>



<p>At this point, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a> have only Rodgers as a possible option to be their starting quarterback next season.<strong> Meanwhile, the 41-year-old quarterback is weighing his next move.</strong> Pittsburgh has stated that their deadline to wait for him is the start of the upcoming campaign, but patience is running thin within the team.</p>



<p>As the black &amp; gold franchise prepares to move past another disappointing season, <strong>the player who sent a strong message to Rodgers is star defensive tackle Cam Heyward, a trusted leader for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Tomlin</a> and the Steelers.</strong></p>



<h2>What did Cam Heyward say about Rodgers?</h2>



<p>When asked if he preferred Rodgers to be present at team-organized activities, Heyward responded bluntly and with indifference: <strong><em>“I don’t care, who says you can’t be better if you aren’t here? To each his own,”</em></strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heyward</a> said. This information was reported by insider Mark Kaboly on his X account (formerly Twitter).</p>

<p>In March, Rodgers visited the Steelers’ facilities and met with the coaching staff led by Mike Tomlin, but left without signing a contract. <strong>Days later, it became known that he had not accepted Pittsburgh’s offer due to personal reasons.</strong></p>

<p><em><strong>“Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, or you don’t. It’s that simple. That’s the idea,”</strong></em> Heyward said, referring to the franchise’s initial interest in Rodgers. Although the veteran defensive tackle claimed his words were misunderstood, he is now sending another message to A-Rod, who has yet to participate in the Steelers’ OTAs amid his pending arrival.</p>

Steelers key player drops another bombshell on Aaron Rodgers amid decision delay

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> are building their team for the 2025 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> season, with much of their focus on strengthening the wide receiver position, which showed weakness in the previous campaign. Star <strong>Cam Heyward</strong> discussed the potential key weapons <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> could have if he accepts the franchise’s offer.</p>



<p>The saga between the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a> and Rodgers continues to unfold with new chapters. <strong>The truth is, in Pittsburgh, they are awaiting a final decision from the quarterback, a former Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers</strong>. It has even leaked that, if he joins the team, it would be under a one-year contract.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heyward</a> has previously shared his opinions regarding A-Rod’s potential arrival. After some less-than-friendly comments, he emphasized in recent hours that Rodgers’ arrival would be very beneficial for the Steelers, who are putting all their efforts into securing the signing. <strong>At the same time, the Pittsburgh defensive tackle spoke about the team’s wide receivers under Mike Tomlin.</strong></p>



<h2>Heyward’s comment on the Steelers WRs</h2>



<p>Heyward emphasized the importance of receivers George Pickens and DK Metcalf, the recent addition from the Seattle Seahawks. <em><strong>“We need them to work together and if they do, they’re going to create a lot of destruction,” </strong></em>Heyward said, according to SteelersDepot.com. Both could be key weapons for Rodgers if his arrival comes to fruition.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250328_BUS_365639_georgepickens-1-1024x576_6275ec2c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="George Pickens smiling" class="wp-image-278134" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/georgepickens-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>George Pickens wide receiver of the Pittsburgh Steelers</figcaption></figure>



<p>Both Pickens and Metcalf have the opportunity to be key weapons in the Steelers’ offense. The former Seahawks player has arrived to replace Najee Harris, who will continue his career with the Los Angeles Chargers. Pickens, for his part, will need to prove he can be an elite wide receiver <strong>capable of leading Pittsburgh to their first playoff win in eight years.</strong></p>

<h2>DK Metcalf’s arrival to the Steelers</h2>



<p>On March 9, 2025, <strong>the Steelers acquired wide receiver Metcalf from the Seahawks in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft</strong>. Additionally, the teams swapped sixth and seventh-round picks. The 27-year-old Metcalf signed a five-year, $150 million contract extension with Pittsburgh.​</p>

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> are making moves in the offseason with the goal of determining who will be their starting quarterback for the 2025 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> season. The ongoing negotiations with Aaron Rodgers have drawn the attention of defensive tackle <strong>Cam Heyward</strong>, who chose to share his thoughts on <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a></strong>‘ departure to the <strong>New York Jets</strong>.</p>



<p>During the offseason, there has been speculation about the possibility of Russell Wilson or Fields, the two starting quarterbacks from last season, receiving a contract extension to return to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a> after becoming free agents. However, that hasn’t happened,<strong> and the former Chicago Bears player chose to continue his career with the Jets.</strong></p>



<p>Heyward, who has already made his stance clear about the Steelers’ prolonged wait for a response from Rodgers, <strong>once again spoke out to share his feelings about Fields’ departure to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York</a>.</strong></p>



<h2>Heyward’s admission about Fields’ departure</h2>



<p><em>“First of all, Justin’s a class act. He’s a guy that works his tail off and wants to lead by example. I was kind of bummed it didn’t work out here. I thought we were going to have a chance to get him. <strong>But, I know that dude is going to dominate in New York. He’s going to give that team a good chance,”</strong></em> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-heyward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heyward</a> said in talk with The Rich Eisen Show.</p>

<h2>What did Fields say about his departure from the Steelers?</h2>



<p>Fields explained the reasons why he chose to play for the Jets next season. <em>“I think, number one, coach Aaron Glenn. I’ve played against him early in my career. I know how passionate he is about the game. The way he coaches and the way his players play. <strong>So, I think that was the biggest thing for me and just the opportunity. The fans, of course, the city.</strong> When you win here, there’s no better place to win. Those reasons are ultimately why I ended up here,” </em>he explained.</p>

<h2>Heyward’s tough message to Rodgers</h2>



<p>Heyward’s years in Pittsburgh back up his status as a credible voice. For that reason, he didn’t hesitate to make his opinion clear about the prolonged negotiations with Rodgers. <em>“I ain’t doing that darkness retreat. I don’t need any of that crap. <strong>Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t. </strong>That’s simple, that’s the pitch. If you want me to recruit, that’s the recruiting pitch. Pittsburgh Steelers — if you want to be part of it, so be it. If you don’t, no skin off my back,” </em>he said days ago.</p>

Cam Heyward drops honest admission about Justin Fields' move to Jets

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> were seen as many experts as a possible dark horse in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong>. However, their quest for a Super Bowl had a terrible start with a Week 1 loss at home against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a></strong>.</p>



<p>In the second year of <strong>Kenny Pickett</strong> as quarterback, <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> built a team which seemed ready to take the next step. For example, the defense promised to be outstanding with names such as <strong>T.J. Watt</strong>, Minkah Fitzpatrick, <strong>Cameron Heyward</strong> or Patrick Peterson.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230216#CMS#0042"></div>


<p>Now, the <strong>Steelers</strong> have a big problem and might fall behind quickly of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a></strong> and Browns in the AFC North. A massive injury on defense could derail their championship hopes.</p>



<h2>Cam Heyward will be out two months with Steelers because of injury</h2>



<p>According to report from Ian Rapoport, <strong>Cameron Heyward</strong> will have surgery to repair his groin and, as a consequence, the defensive star is out for at least two months.</p>


        

        


<p>The injury occurred during the first half of the Steelers’ loss against the <strong>49ers</strong> at home. Though Heyward tried to return later to the game, it was impossible considering the pain.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230621#BUS#14883"></div>


<p>Furthermore, the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> also lost <strong>Diontae Johnson</strong> due to a hamstring injury. The wide receiver will be out a minimum of four weeks. So, <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> has a lot of work to do without two of his best players on the roster. The next rivals on the schedule: Browns, <strong>Raiders</strong>, Texans and Ravens.</p>
