Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Friday Fact or Fiction for Divisional Weekend

Antonio Brown will have 100+ yards receiving: FICTION

Antonio Brown is the best wide receiver in football and is starting to make a case that he’s one of the ten best receivers to ever play the game.

Brown had 157 yards in the first matchup in week 5, with a big chunk of that coming on Pittsburgh’s first offensive play when Brown had an obvious push off on Jalen Ramsey that wasn’t called.

Brown did get his that week, but the Steelers threw it a startling amount (55 times) and that won’t happen again.

Brown is also coming back from a pretty serious injury (a torn calf muscle) and it’s not a certainty that he’s going to be 100%.

I also think Jalen Ramsey is the best defensive back in football and should do well against Brown.

All that in consideration, I don’t see how Brown has a huge game.. Even if Brown is healthy, the Steelers have other weapons who will have better matchups. Juju Smith-Schuster in particularly should have plenty of opportunities against Aaron Colvin if he lines up in the slot.

Brown is an all-world player, but I don’t think this is going to be his day.
