Antonio Brown played in six postseason games prior to today. In none of them did he end up in the end zone with the ball. By the time eight minutes had passed in the first quarter today, however, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ All-Pro wide receiver had not one, but two touchdowns, both of the explosive variety, setting the stage for a comfortable victory for his team in the Wildcard round.
The first reception wasn’t designed to be a big play, necessarily, just a simple screen pass on first and 10 at midfield. But Brown got some good blocking out in front of him by wide receiver Cobi Hamilton and tight end Jesse James that sprung him up the left sideline for the score.
