AB for MVP? Steelers WR Brown on historic run

PITTSBURGH — Darrius Heyward-Bey wants to get something out of the way about the latest addition to Antonio Brown's rapidly expanding highlight reel. It wasn't a toe tap. It was a toe drag.

The difference isn't semantic. It's vital. And one of the many reasons Heyward-Bey believes his Pittsburgh Steelers teammate is separating himself from every other wide receiver in the NFL.

If Brown tried to tap his feet while coming down with a 23-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger that set up teammate Chris Boswell's winning field goal on the final play last Sunday against Green Bay, Brown would have been out of bounds.
