FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Antonio Brown always expected to be in this position – in the spotlight before the biggest football game of all.
Even when he was waiting for a chance on the Pittsburgh Steelers sideline during the regular season. Even back when a football career seemed far away as he bounced around without a home.
Sure enough, here he is at the Super Bowl.
Brown was inactive for seven of Pittsburgh’s first 11 games, and caught only 16 passes in the regular season. Then came the postseason – and stardom for Brown.
His acrobatic 58-yard catch set up the winning score against Baltimore in the divisional round. A week later, Brown caught a third-down pass that sealed a victory over the New York Jets and a trip to Dallas.
