The NFL fined Antonio Brown for his third touchdown celebration this season, and, while fans and even a teammate or two took him to task for the latest penalty against Indianapolis, the fines really are a good thing for the Steelers.
If he wasn’t scoring touchdowns, there would be no celebrations.
Brown’s 10 touchdown catches are tied for the NFL lead with Mike Evans of Tampa Bay. This, even though most of the other receivers on the Steelers roster have had some kind of injury that has either sidelined them or hindered their performance.
But as the Steelers, tied for first place with Baltimore at 6-5 in the AFC North, head into the December stretch drive, some of those receivers are getting healthier.
