The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the Cincinnati Bengals in the final regular season game of 2014, and the AFC North crown is on the line. The Steelers got on the board first thanks to a punt return for the touchdown from wide receiver Antonio Brown that went for 71 yards.
While a 71 yard is impressive, that isn’t why we’re sharing this play.
Brown got tired of one of his blocker’s slowing him down, so he shoved him to the ground before running around him and up the sideline for the touchdown. It happens early in the play, so keep an eye out for it in the GIF of the play below.
If you can’t see it, the incident occurs right as he is about to cross his own 40-yard line.
Here is another angle of the play:
This isn’t the first time something unusual has happened during a punt return, against the Bengals none the less. Earlier in the season Brown tried to hurdle the Bengals punter and ended up stomping on his face.
