This is some excerpts from DK's article. It's a paid article so I can only post some.. but the rest is at this link
http://dkpittsburghsports.com/2016/...ng-right-roethlisberger-brown-still-not-sync/
But I will get worked up over this: Something’s weird right now between Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown.
Really weird.
And more than a little unsettling, especially in the context of what those two — individually and as a connection — represent to this football team’s increasingly legit Super Bowl hopes.
AB was fine, too, at least superficially, with nine catches on 11 targets, 78 yards and a touchdown.
Something’s amiss, though, between those two, both during play and between plays, and it would be foolhardy to the extreme for anyone to ignore it any longer..
Or AB barking up a storm on the sideline after Ben misfiring on two passes to other receivers on the next series.
Or Ben visibly ticked off at AB for running the wrong route in the red zone, which led directly to him holding the ball too long and losing a fumble.
Or Markus Wheaton, of all people, maybe the most introverted player on the roster, apparently giving it to AB a little later.
There’s much, much more, too, that we as a staff have seen and heard.
It’s a real thing. It’s an increasingly ugly thing.
And the blame for that, beyond any doubt, falls on AB.
