What happened: Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward said Pittsburgh did not need to make roster moves at the Nov. 10 trade deadline. "Trades are for Madden. I make plenty of those in my franchise mode," Heyward said.
Why it matters: Pittsburgh had been linked to receiver trade targets Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. in the days before the deadline. Heyward's comments point to a roster the team views as sufficient as it stays in the AFC North race.
By the numbers: Pittsburgh entered the deadline 6-2. Its last game was a 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 1.
What to watch: With the deadline passed, the Steelers go forward with the roster they have.
