Not the first time this has happened with Heyward.<\/p>\n

\"Cam<\/p>\n

Stop me if you\u2019ve heard this before. The Pittsburgh Steelers did something dirty during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n

While this rivalry hasn\u2019t been nearly as bad as it was around the 2015 season, you can always tell these two teams just absolutely hate the other.<\/p>\n

\"Cincinnati<\/p>\n

The most recent example is Cam Heyward appearing to punch quarterback Joe Flacco after sacking him in the fourth quarter of the Bengals win on Thursday Night Football:<\/p>\n

Defenders have gotten so good at punching the ball out in recent history, that it isn\u2019t uncommon to see a swing a few times a game. They all don\u2019t land on or near the ball, but that isn\u2019t really what is being called out here. Flacco was clearly down and well after the whistle Heyward goes in for a punch on the 40-year-old quarterback\u2019s torso area.<\/p>\n

It just isn\u2019t a football move at that point. You have to call it what it is and say it is a cheap shot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
