The Pittsburgh Steelers hoped to come out of Houston still atop their division and with a clean bill of health. 

If you watched the game, you know the latter part of that duo went out the window. 

But on top of that, Pittsburgh's seasons may now be in jeopardy:

Kenny Pickett Goes Down:

On what was already an uphill battle for the Steelers offense, things just became that much harder following the injury to Pickett. The video was unpleasant and we will await the official diagnosis but as Coach Tomlin said: "Keny has a knee."

The Latest on Dan Moore Jr.:

Steelers starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. left the game early in the second quarter and was ruled out after halftime. Rookie first-round pick Broderick Jones played the rest of the game and while we await more information, could be playing the rest of the season, with Moore: "Having a knee" according to Coach Tomlin. 

What's up with Muth:

Tight end Pat Freiermuth went out of the game in the third quarter and was ruled out almost immediately with a hamstring injury. Coach Tomlin told reporters after the game that Freiermuth: "Has a hamstring."

DeMarvin Leal Hurt late

Late in the game on Sunday, Leal went out of the game with a head injury. The severity was unknown but Coach Tomlin told the media: "Leal has a head injury." 

That was all the details he had at this time.
