Brown unfazed by postgame scrap: 'I'm not an MMA fighter'

While a certain Kansas City Chiefs player may have tried to bait Antonio Brown into something dumb after their playoff matchup Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver had already handled his business on the field.

After his Steelers beat the Chiefs, Brown was involved in a postgame scuffle that had to be broken up by coaches. According to Brown, it was a Chiefs defensive back - not Marcus Peters - who started the trouble by trying "to provoke me to get a little aggressive."

As he'd already won the game, Brown had nothing left to prove.

"I'm not an MMA fighter," Brown said, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "I'm a football player and we leave it all on the field."

Despite keeping his cool in the skirmish, Brown still managed to get himself in hot water Sunday, posting a lengthy video to social media from the Steelers' locker room that featured coach Mike Tomlin calling the New England Patriots "a--holes".
