Domer Bruton Plays 60 Snaps With Broken Leg

Former Notre Dame student-athlete David Bruton -- a team captain with the Denver Broncos -- broke his leg in the first quarter and played the rest of the game thinking it was a "bruise."

David also "survived" a vicious late -- helmet to helmet hit -- from the Steelers' Cody Wallace (video above).  Bruton broke his leg two plays prior this hit. The NFL is expected to levy a significant fine on Wallace -- see video above.

Here's the story:
