Antonio Brown brought NFL fans an exclusive look into the Pittsburgh Steelers' locker room following their 18-16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, and head coach Mike Tomlin might not be happy about it.

The video, which was deleted Monday morning, lasts over 17 minutes and includes the voice of Tomlin giving an expletive-laden speech in which he calls the New England Patriots "a--holes" ahead of their matchup in the AFC Championship Game next weekend.

"When you get to this point in the journey, man, not a lot needs to be said," Tomlin said in the video.

"Let's say very little moving forward. Let's start our preparations. We just spotted these a--holes a day and a half. They played yesterday. Our game got moved to tonight. We're going to touch down at four o'clock in the f---ing morning. So be it. We'll be ready for their a--. But you ain't got to tell them we're coming.

"Keep a low profile, and let's get ready to ball like this up again here in a few days and be right back at it. That's our story."

Here's a snippet of the video, which captures Tomlin's speech:

As of Monday morning, Brown's video had been viewed over 1 million times.

Other unidentifiable voices can be heard in the recording. Two of them - somewhat ironically - warn of keeping off-field distractions to a minimum through the upcoming week.

"Keep cool on social media. This is about us, nobody else, man," one said.

"It's a lion's den we're going into this week," another player said of the Patriots' home field, Gillette Stadium. "Keep your mouth shut, and let's play Steeler football."
