Antonio Brown Catches Two Touchdowns In Loss

Sunday, January 14, 9:27 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown played through a calf injury to torch an elite Jacksonville Jaguars secondary for seven catches, 132 yards, and two touchdowns on Sunday. It wasn't enough, however, as the Steelers fell to Jacksonville in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Brown was listed as questionable heading into the game as he injured his calf back in Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He looked no worse for the wear as he shredded a Jaguars secondary that was one of the best in the league this past season. Despite the loss, Brown got good news as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told reporters he planned to return in 2018 after contemplating retirement throughout the season.

The highlights continued into his sophomore year when he started in every game and had a season high of one hundred seventy two yards, as well as his seven touchdowns.

He had a vertical leap of 38.5 inches. He was most noted for speed, agility, and explosiveness. In 2010, he was acquired by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round.

He finished the season with sixteen receptions for one hundred sixty seven yards, as well as going to Super Bowl XLV in 2011.

2011 NFL season

He began the season by not just being named the third wide receiver on the Steelers roster but also was named the punt returner and starting kick returner. Brown became the first player in the NFL to have more than one thousand yards returning and receiving in the same season. He played his first Pro Bowl and caught two passes for fifteen yards.

2012 NFL season

The Steelers decided to extend Brown’s contract for another five years. He was also named one of two starting wide receivers for the Steelers. He continued through the season with high yardage, but a fine for unsportsmanlike conduct and a sprained ankle blemished parts of the mid season. He made a comeback against the Dallas Cowboys in week fifteen with a season high eight catches for seventy six yards and scored a touchdown. He would finish the season with sixty eight receptions for seven hundred eighty seven yards and five touchdowns.

2013 NFL season

In December 2012, Brown broke Yancey Thigpen’s 1997 single season record of one thousand three hundred ninety eight yards receiving yards. On December 29, he tied two other players in having at least five receptions in every game of a season, as well as being the only receiver in NFL history have at least five receptions and at least fifty yards in every seasonal game. He would later go onto be named to the AP All-Pro team.

2015 NFL season

The most notable game during this season was with the Indianapolis Colts. Brown returned a punt for a touchdown and celebrated by jumping into the goal post. He was later fined for excessive celebration. While the Stelers made it to the Super Bowl, a concussion Brown sufered in the first post season game against the Cincinnati Bengals kept him on the sidelines.

2016 NFL season

In the season opener, Brown was fined for both going against uniform policy by wearing the wrong colored cleats and twerking after he scored a touchdown. He was fined for the same thing four games later. He is now in the top one hundred all time for career receptions and in the top one hundred for career receiving yards.
