Broadcast cameras did not appear to catch the injury on video. Instead, McCarthy was shown having trouble as he tried to walk off the field at halftime. He eventually decided to head straight into the blue medical tent on the sideline, where he remained for all of halftime. He never made it back to the locker room to address the Steelers, and re-joined the team at the start of the third quarter.
