Antonio Brown wanted to remind himself who he was playing for against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, but the NFL was having none of it.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' star receiver wore a pair of blue cleats with his children's faces on them for the first half of Sunday's contest.
Brown, who previously referred to his Week 1 fine as "nothing to a boss," was forced to change from his personal attire to the NFL-sponsored team cleats, the receiver confirmed Tuesday.
No fines have been announced against Brown yet, but he will likely receive a penalty later in the week. The real question is, however, will Brown get a full fine, or just half?
