In their Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup with the Buffalo Bills, it was reasonable to expect a physical battle typical of December football between two teams primed for the playoffs. And a physical game it was, which meant more injuries sustained. This time, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost not one, but two offensive linemen, both Guards Matt Feiler and rookie Kevin Dotson, who filled in for Feiler after his exit early in the game.
Feiler got tangled up with Bills linebacker A. J. Klein on a 2nd and 7 with 8:41 left in the 1st quarter and his right arm was briefly on traction.
