The last thing that Coach Mike Tomlin wanted was to see the guy replacing Big Ben go down in th final preseason game, but that is just what happened. Just ove four minutes into the second quarter, Leftwich hit his knee off of running back Mewelde Moore as Moore was blocking Carolina’s Safety Marcus Hudson. Dennis Dixon came into finish the drive and threw a touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders.
