The injuries continued to pile up on Thursday night.
In addition to the numerous injuries the Pittsburgh Steelers sustained, Cleveland Browns safety Morgan Burnett left the game with an injury with just over a minute to go in the second quarter. The Browns later said the safety had suffered an Achilles injury.
Burnett was having a big game with five tackles. He also intercepted a Mason Rudolph pass on a tipped ball two minutes before his injury.
