Contextualization Of Antonio Brown’s Total Targets, Low Catch Rate To Start Season

There’s been an awful lot of talk the last few weeks about the below average start of the season, at least by his statistical standards, that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has had. After all, Brown has just 24 catches for 210 yards and 2 touchdowns entering Week 4 and even one if his own teammates, fellow wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, has him topped in those first two statistical categories.

The talk about Brown’s seemingly low receiving stats three weeks into the regular season even resulted in Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger going on the radio this past week to say that perhaps the reason for that is related to him not forcing the football to the wide receiver as much as he’s maybe done in the past.
