Steelers Postgame Injury Update
Elandon Roberts: The lone starting LB left this season, Roberts exited the game with a pec injury that looked to be fairly serious, seeing as he was doubtful and then almost immediately declared out. Coach Tomlin didn't add much on Roberts' status in his postgame press conference, saying: "We were snakebitten at the inside LB position as Elandon Roberts went down with a pec injury and was unable to return, I'll have more info for you guys on Tuesday."
Observations:
Pittsburgh was able to come away largely unscathed in terms of attrition at key positions, but they will surely miss Roberts. The Bengals took longer than some other teams to exploit the middle of the defense, but even they found out that Pittsburgh is susceptible at the second level, something other teams will continue to target in light of another inury at the position.
