Brown vows to restore Steelers' trust in him

Antonio Brown appears to understand his antics this season have begun to wear thin with the Pittsburgh Steelers and has pledged to earn back the team's faith.

The star wide receiver expressed regret over his "dumb" decision to live stream the Steelers' locker room on Facebook after the divisional round of the playoffs.

"It was a dumb mistake," Brown told Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report. "Can't believe I did it, and it won't happen again. I promise you that."

He added, "The big thing I learned is that I have some growing up to do, and I'm going to do it. I learned a lot from it and will keep learning. I'm going to rebuild the trust with my teammates and my coaches. I promise you that, too."

Brown is entering the final year of his contract. The Steelers are widely expected to give him a big-money extension despite his recent troubles, and the 28-year-old reaffirmed his intention to stay in Pittsburgh.

"I'm a Steeler for life," Brown said.
