'Touchdown' Eddie Brown amazed at son Antonio's brilliance

Antonio Brown wasn’t the only one who felt pain from the vicious Vontaze Burfict helmet shot in the AFC wild-card round.

Brown’s father had a tough time shaking that one, too.

‘Touchdown’ Eddie Brown, an Arena Football League legend who was absent for parts of Brown’s childhood but reconnected nearly a decade ago, said he’s not bitter at Burfict for the dirty hit that prompted a three-game suspension for the Cincinnati Bengals linebacker.

But watching the moment itself was grueling. Brown suffered a concussion that sidelined him for the 23-16 divisional round loss to the Denver Broncos.
