PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers showed flashes of brilliance on both sides of the ball in a 38-7 preseason romp over Buffalo on Saturday night, though it came at a significant cost.
Rookie offensive guard David DeCastro had to be taken off the field on a cart with what coach Mike Tomlin called a ''potentially severe'' right knee injury. DeCastro was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday.
The results were not immediately available, though the Steelers said Saturday night they expected DeCastro to miss a significant amount of time.
The injury marred Pittsburgh's best game of the preseason. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger passed for 169 yards and a touchdown and led a 98-yard scoring drive in the final seconds of the first half.
The Steelers (2-1) wrap up the exhibition schedule on Thursday against Carolina (1-1).
