Milestones always feel a lot more anticlimactic when they come in a loss. That was certainly the case yesterday for Antonio Brown, who overall had a rather unspectacular day in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-17 defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos.
While the All-Pro would finish with nine receptions on the day, tied for the highest number of catches he has had in a game this season, they only produced 67 total yards, and he also failed to get into the end zone for the first time in nine games. Still, his fifth catch of the day, albeit an unspectacular one, was nonetheless historic.
