Pittsburgh Steelers star calls out Patrick Mahomes: ‘He sells with the best of them’
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward believes that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes does get favorable calls and that his selling of some hits and plays helps him get some favorable calls.
Those comments come on the heels of Mahomes being called out by announcer and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman for ‘flopping’ against the Houston Texans.
“Yeah, Mahomes is going to get calls,” Heyward said on Not Just Football. “He’s been an MVP in our game and he sells tickets. As a defense, you know you’re under a microscope when you play him. The second they think it’s questionable, it’s probably getting thrown. And he sells with the best of them. He’s the Bruce Bowen, he’s the Manu Ginobili where they’re flopping and flailing their arms out there.”
Mahomes is looking for a three-peat, which would be the first time in NFL history that would be done. Against the Buffalo Bills, they will have to overcome their demons, as the Chiefs lost to the Bills in their first matchup this season.
Either way, Mahomes denies that he is trying to draw flags but admitted he did too much when selling a push on the sidelines against the Texans.
“I would say the only one I felt like I probably did too much was the one on the sideline where I didn’t get the flag,” Mahomes said. “The ref saw it and didn’t throw a flag, I understood it immediately and know that I probably shouldn’t have done that.”
The Philadelphia Eagles have already clinched their spot in New Orleans at the Super Bowl, and Mahomes is trying to join them.

Forgotten frontier: How Pittsburgh shaped America’s July 4th
We take you inside Fort Pitt Museum’s “Pittsburgh’s Revolution” exhibit to show how a frontier fort became a key in America’s path to independence.
Pittsburgh’s Fourth of July traditions are rooted in centuries of American history, and Fort Pitt Museum sits at the heart of that story.
Located in Point State Park at the confluence of the city’s three rivers, the museum traces western Pennsylvania’s pivotal role in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the early expansion of the United States.
An exhibit you don’t want to miss
Inside, the “Pittsburgh’s Revolution” exhibit spotlights how this frontier outpost helped shape the Revolutionary War and the push for independence. Rare artifacts, detailed maps and personal stories walk visitors through a time when control of Fort Pitt meant control of the West, giving colonists a crucial foothold in the struggle against British rule. The exhibit also emphasizes the diverse communities at the Point, including soldiers, Indigenous nations, traders and settlers, whose lives intersected in ways that still echo in Pittsburgh’s identity today.
For modern visitors, the museum offers an immersive experience that connects familiar July 4 images with the realities of life on the 18th‑century frontier. Families can explore galleries that explain how supplies moved through Pittsburgh to support the Continental Army, how diplomacy unfolded with Native nations, and how everyday people navigated a world in conflict. It turns Independence Day from a single date on the calendar into an ongoing story that started along these rivers and radiated outward.
As America marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Fort Pitt’s “Fourth at the Fort” programming brings that history into the present with flag ceremonies, living history encampments and hands‑on activities in Point State Park.
For Pittsburghers looking to go beyond fireworks, a visit to Fort Pitt Museum offers a reminder that Independence Day here is not only about celebration, but about standing on the ground where American history was made.
