Grades: Four Steelers who earned As wild card weekend
By Tim Weaver
Antonio Brown
No grade day would be complete without an A for Mr. Antonio Brown, would it?
Despite seeing multiple double teams, Brown found a way to get his. He caught seven passes and turned them into 119 yards, which was just short of half the entire team’s output in the passing game.
Most wide receivers can only dream of putting up 119 yards in a game. That Brown did it in the playoffs against a tough defense in the pouring rain is more proof that he’s a once in a generation kind of talent.
Vontaze Burfict’s dirty helmet to helmet hit has Brown going through the concussion protocol this week. If he can’t go, Pittsburgh is as good as sunk against Denver.
