“Well I got an assignment and I got an opportunity. With call out goal routes, there’s a chance the ball is going to come to you, and I just ran it to win.
“So I just ran away and decided to take the opportunity when it came to me. Stepped my foot on the gas and put myself in the position to get the opportunity,” said Antonio Brown.
The touchdown was Brown’s first since Week 2 of the 2019 season. Back then, Brown was a New England Patriots player, and that pass was from Tom Brady as well.
Difficult few years for Brown
After enjoying multiple successful seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brown decided to part ways with the 6-time Super Bowl winners.
Brown’s decision to jump ship was apparently down to a training ground bust-up between him and Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger.
The 7-time Pro Bowler was then quickly snapped up by the Las Vegas Raiders for the 2019 season. But his stay at Las Vegas was rather short-lived after he was released by the franchise before playing a single game for them.

The Raiders decided to cut ties with the wide receiver following an altercation with the side’s General Manager, Mike Mayock.
But Brown, being the mercurial talent that he is, was not away from the game for long. The New England Patriots took a chance with the wide receiver. However, it was not long before even the Patriots let go of Brown due to incidents related off the pitch.
