Antonio Brown kicks Browns punter in the head (Video)
By Josh Sanchez
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is picking up where he left off from a season ago, with a first-half performance that includes three catches for more than 90 yards and a touchdown. Brown showed off his skill on special teams, too.

After fielding a punt, Brown went cruising through the center of the Cleveland Browns special teams unit and had a clear path to the endzone with blockers in front of him.
However, Brown chose a different route.
Instead of moving down the sideline and running into the endzone with ease, he busted out the crane technique from the Karate Kid and booted Browns punter Spencer Lanning right in the head.
No can defend … but tackle, yeah.
Brown was flagged 15-yards for the kick to the face of his opponent, which really comes as no surprise. That doesn’t mean we all didn’t get a laugh out of it, though.
There is also a chance that Brown could get a call from the league office and find a fine in his mailbox later this week.
As far as the Steelers are concerned, the crane kick was just a minor setback but the mistake was made up for when running back Le’Veon Bell went running into the endzone to give Pittsburgh a 24-3 first-half lead.
