P's and Q's: Cam Heyward's Browns preview lifts NFL on ESPN

A Rich Eisen Show conversation with the Steelers defensive lineman left a normal opening day far behind, while most big sports channels were running slow.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 82,745 views a day, 23 times a normal first day on this channel (3,567).

Cam Heyward drew a crowd. His visit to The Rich Eisen Show, posted on the NFL on ESPN channel as "‘WE GOT TO BE ON OUR P’S AND Q’S!’ 👀 Cam Heyward previews Steelers-Browns | The Rich Eisen Show", gathered close to 45,000 views in its first nine hours.

That is well beyond the channel's routine. A new upload here usually spends its whole first day collecting a few thousand views, and this clip passed that pace many times over before the day was half done. It went against the wider mood, too. First Things First, TSN and NHL on ESPN were all running below their usual daily pace.

The subject is a Pittsburgh-Cleveland week. The title's warning about minding your manners comes from a player the Steelers took in the first round in 2011 out of Ohio State. He has spent his whole career anchoring their defensive line. On the other side of the desk is Rich Eisen, a longtime NFL broadcaster, talking with him ahead of one of the league's oldest division matchups.
