It is amazing what one week of games in the National Football League can do. When the Pittsburgh Steelers were playing its last game, the Kansas City Chiefs were the only undefeated team in the league. Then, because of course, they went on the road to defeat the Chiefs 19-13.
Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, while happy with the victory, isn't going to be complacent. A victory is great, but he knows the team is capable of more. In fact, he knows Pittsburgh needs to do more if the Steelers want to matter come the playoffs.
“We haven’t put our best performance out there,” Brown said, via ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. “Each week we getting little better, and I think we’ll continue to get a little better, and see more big plays.”
Antonio Brown hasn't been an issue with whatever woes Pittsburgh has had at times this season. In fact, the receiver has been outstanding through six games, with 48 receptions for 700 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Mike Tomlin and company, the Steelers’ offense as a unit has not been nearly as productive. They have yet to score 30 points in 2017, and haven’t reached 20 points in consecutive weeks.
As a somewhat random aside: It has forever remained hilarious to me that big bad Ben Roethlisberger often stakes any blame for his team's woes, while guys like Brown have continuously bailed him out of situations after iffy passes. Against the Chiefs, big bad Ben hurled what appeared to be an ill-fated pass toward Brown, who caught it off a deflection, and turned it into a touchdown.
