Despite “quiet” game, Antonio Brown comes up huge when it matters most
The Bengals held Steelers’ receiver Antonio Brown in check for 3-plus quarters at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday, but No. 84 escaped their clutches just in time to save the 2018 season.

Is that even legal?” I don’t think I was ever as subdued while watching a Steelers’ score as I was this past Monday night, when tight end Vance McDonald was finishing off a 75-yard touchdown catch-and-run in the first quarter of what would turn out to be a 30-27 victory over the Buccaneers.
