Heyward totaled four tackles (two solo), a sack, two pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.
Heyward recorded only four sacks across 15 appearances in 2020, but he got off to a strong start by getting to quarterback Josh Allen midway through the second quarter Sunday. The 32-year-old will serve as a clear starter on Pittsburgh's defensive line during the 2021 campaign, and he began the year with a well-rounded performance against Buffalo.
