If yesterday’s tidbit from ESPN’s Bob Holtzman is to be believed, then the Pittsburgh Steelers are in serious trouble. With DeAngelo Williams’ status already in doubt and Ben Roethlisberger having suffered a separated shoulder, the reporter has said that a team source told him it is not looking good for Antonio Brown to clear the concussion protocol by Sunday in order to play against the Denver Broncos in the Divisional round of the playoffs.
And it should go without saying that losing a player who caught 136 passes for 1834 yards and 10 touchdowns during the regular season does much to potentially suck the life out of any offense, let alone one that could be down their top two running backs and with their franchise quarterback physically compromised.
