Last summer, several members of the Steelers -- along with former Steelers coach Bill Cowher -- portrayed the Gotham City Rogues in The Dark Knight Rises, during scenes shot at Heinz Field.

The new trailer for the film contains a snippet from one of the scenes, an eye-popping special-effects visual featuring Hines Ward running down the field and his pursuers eventually being taken out by something other than blockers. (But they definitely had “concussion-like symptoms” afterward.)

It looks pretty realistic. Except for the fact that Hines Ward was outrunning anyone.
