The game between the Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday night came down to the wire, with Steelers kicker Chris Boswell deciding the outcome with his legs. Boswell nailed a 40-yard field goal late in the contest to get the Steelers the lead back for good and the win. He also got praised like a football god by defensive lineman Cam Heyward.
Via Brooke Pryor of ESPN:
“Bos is a serial killer,” defensive lineman Cam Heyward said of Boswell. “He's too calm in some situations, and I love Bos' demeanor. The moment is never too big for him.”
Moreover, the Steelers veteran expressed his choice for the best kicker in the game today, which, in his opinion, is certainly not Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens.
“I know everybody talks about the guy up in Baltimore,” Heyward said. “He's a great kicker, but Bos is a great, great kicker as well. We always tease him, they're 1A and 1B, Bos is yet to prove that he's 1B. A lot of games left to be played, but can't say enough about the way Bos plays.”
Boswell's kick prevented the completion of a Steelers meltdown. Pittsburgh entered the fourth quarter with a 14-point lead, but the Bears showed some life in the final period behind rookie quarterback Justin Fields, wide receiver Darnell Mooney, and their defense. Chicago outscored the Steelers in the fourth quarter, 21-9, and even got the lead with less than two minutes left in regulation with Mooney scoring on a 16-yard touchdown grab. Fortunately for the Steelers, Boswell was able to drill the field goal to preserve the team's winning streak.
The Steelers will look to stretch their unbeaten run to five games when they face the Detroit Lions at home in Week 10.
