Steelers' Secret Weapon: Heyward's Spartan Play

Discover the Steelers Secret Weapon: Connor Heywards Spartan Tush Push Play - The Pittsburgh Steelers have found a game-changing play in their Tush Push, dubbed the Spartan, with tight end Connor Heyward leading the charge. Heyward, a former college running back, has successfully executed the play 8 out of 9 times this season, contributing to the teams third-ranked performance on third-and-short situations. His role as the ball carrier or fake quarterback has been crucial, especially with quarterback Russell Wilsons age. Heywards dedication to mastering the play, including practicing cadences and working with the center, has paid off, resulting in five first downs on fourth-and-short and keeping defenses guessing.
