Antonio Brown was simply dominant. With less than a minute left in the fourth quarter of a 35-35 game, the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver hauled in a Landry Jones pass and sprinted down the field before being tackled at the Oakland Raiders’ 15-yard line for a 57-yard reception. The catch resulted in Chris Boswell splitting the goal posts for a 19-yard game winning field goal. Brown finished the day with 17 catches and 284 receiving yards, both franchise records. The Steelers (5-4) won a ... Read More

COLUMN: Enigmatic Steelers must learn quickly from mistakes
Forget, if you can, for just a few minutes about how much you loathe Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
