Cameron Heyward responds after retweeting critical statement on Mike Tomlin, Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward raised eyebrows Monday when he retweeted a statement criticizing head coach Mike Tomlin. However, Heyward took to Twitter later in the day to explain himself, saying the retweet was not intentional. 

“Ok let me be clear when I say that was a complete accident,” Heyward’s tweet read. “I challenge myself to be better and don’t look to point the finger. These losses I take personal and I need to be better. My head coach and teammates are the ones I care about. I’m on to Tampa see ya Sunday.”
