After a morning trip to their father’s grave, Cam and Connor Heyward played an inspired role in Pittsburgh’s first winning streak of the season. Their father, Craig “Ironhead” Heyward, was a bruising runner who spent three seasons with the Falcons in 1990s. He had the Steelers only sack, got another hit on Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota and broke up a pass. The Steelers took a 19-6 lead into the final minute of the third quarter before the Falcons finally reached the end zone. Tight end MyCole Pruitt hauled in a 7-yard touchdown pass from Mariota to cap an eight-play, 75-yard drive that made it 19-13.
