Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown posted a new Facebook Live video Wednesday, clearing the controversy surrounding him after posting footage of head coach Mike Tomlin following a Jan. 15 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brown reportedly sulked during the AFC Championship Game after DeAngelo Williams scored the Steelers' first touchdown of the game, drawing criticism from teammates.

The All-Pro wide receiver shot a new video while traveling on a plane, checking in with his fans.

"There's been a lot of reports, a lot of different people saying a lot of different things. You guys know the truth," Brown said.

Brown said he'll implore himself to be better than the legion of critics that have scrutinized him since the new year commenced.

"I think Atlanta says Rise Up," Brown said. "I say Rise Above - above the naysayers, above the critics, above the haters, above the doubters."
