Photos: Women's Football at Heinz Field

You have to see these incredible photos of the Women's Football Championship game at Heinz Field. These women are AMAZING athletes!

Last week, Pittsburgh Passion player Tera McIntosh shared what the Women's Football Alliance National Championship, hosted in Pittsburgh this year, means to those involved.
