Steelers' Antonio Brown Thriving This Season


Eva Jeanne Markosky is a former boxer at Penn State University who won a National Collegiate Boxing Association silver medal in 2016 and earned a bachelor's in energy business and finance in three years. An avid sports fan, Eva Jeanne Markosky counts the Pittsburgh Steelers as her favorite National Football League (NFL) team.

Through 11 games in the 2017 season, the Steelers are first in their division with a win-loss record of 9-2 and a big reason why is Antonio Brown. The team's leading receiver in each of the past four seasons is the NFL's leading receiver with 1,195 yards. Only three other players have topped 1,000 yards, and Brown is 156 yards clear of Atlanta's Julio Jones, who sits second in receiving yards.

The former sixth-round pick has recorded at least 100 receiving yards in six of the team's 11 games this season. He recorded 70 or less in three consecutive games from Week 7 through Week 9, but has since posted remarkable back-to-back games in which he combined for 313 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week following his three-touchdown performance against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11.
