We all saw that dirty hit to the head by Cincinnati safety George Iloka. Not only did AB catch hit, he got up to celebrate the touchdown.

See the 20 second mark at the below link:

Brown, despite being smaller in stature is as durable as they come and never has developed alligator arms. Most impressive.

What else can you say? Randy Moss says the torch has been passed to #84.

yeah from Jerry Rice to Antonio...............
 
That and did you see the pictures of his big toe the day before the game? It was still swollen big time. During warm ups, he was hobbling around before he got his pain shot in it.

I doubt he practices this week and will probably go through the same routine for the foreseeable future. Damn turf toe like that doesn't just go away. It takes alot of rest.

I thought I heard he did NOT get a pain shot during the pre-game. If true, he's as tough as they come!
 
He did not take a pain shot. Refused it
 
Antonio Brown has taken the argument for who the best WR is, and turned it into who the second best WR is. Because there is no doubt that Brown is the clear cut #1 WR in the NFL. His numbers this year, compared to his peers are nothing short of awe inspiring. He has one more target than DeAndre Hopkins who comes in second in most of the other major receiving catagories. Brown leads the league in targets, receptions, yards, TD's, ypg, and first downs. He's second among WR's in YAC, only to Golden Tate, who only has 767 yards, 404 of that is YAC (insane).

Brown is doing this while CONSISTENTLY getting double and triple teamed. Teams are doing everything they can to not let Brown beat them, and yet he continues to do so. What he did Monday night with his toe the way it was, was just amazing. The one handed catch, the back shoulder, the TD...all in unforgiving weather, in a hostile environment, knowing exactly the type of players were after him.

There is no debate. It's Brown and everyone else.

Perfectly stated

Rice is not a torch passer. He's a little selfish about how good he was. He jokes that he put Joe Montana and Steve Young in the Hall of fame. A bit problematic especially when you consider Montana won a super bowl without him.
 
No pain shot is even more impressive. He was limping bad in early warm ups.
 
He doesn't put up anywhere near those numbers w/o Big Ben under center. All credit goes to Bill Cowher who drafted Big Ben! The genius of Cowher making MT job easy! <sarcasm>
