Pittsburgh Steelers’ Antonio Brown With The Juggling Catch (Video)
By Phil Watson
The Pittsburgh Steelers were backed up in their own end after a sack and Antonio Brown almost bailed them out with a catch that required extra concentration.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were backed up deep in their own end facing a third-and-long situation and Ben Roethlisberger looked for his favorite target, Antonio Brown, who came into Sunday’s game with NFL-best totals of 115 receptions and 1,498 receiving yards.
Big Ben’s pass was a little out in front of him and Brown got his hands on it. Then some madness ensued:
Alas, for all of that effort, Brown came up a yard shy of the first down and the Steelers had to punt it away to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brown had a breakout year in 2013 with 110 receptions for 1,499 yards and eight touchdowns, but he’s putting up even better numbers this year.
With four catches and 36 yards in the third quarter of Sunday’s game, he has more than 1,500 yards on the season.
Brown became the first Steeler receiver with more than 1,500 yards through the air in a single season and the 115 catches was already a franchise record, breaking the old mark of 112 by Hines Ward in 2002.
With 11 touchdown receptions, Brown is one behind the franchise single-season record of 12 first set by Buddy Dial in 1961 and later tied by Louis Lipps in 1985 and by Ward in 2002.
