Young Money" cashed in for the Steelers Saturday night in a big way, but another injury to backup quarterback Byron Leftwich and a slew of others tempered their 34-16 victory against the Atlanta Falcons at Heinz Field.

Antonio Brown, part of the young money receiving corps, caught two long touchdown passes from Ben Roethlisberger and set up a third by returning the opening kickoff 51 yards.

Leftwich was scheduled to become the No. 2 quarterback again this season. The seriousness of his left elbow injury was not immediately determined. He flung his helmet to the turf and screamed in pain as he walked off the field.

It was not the only injury of the game. Center Maurkice Pouncey left early with a left ankle injury and nose tackle Casey Hampton also departed with a right elbow injury. Cornerback Keenan Lewis left early with a knee injury. The Steelers did not immediately provide more injury details for any of them.
