Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was enlisted by the fun police.

Roethlisberger called out teammate Antonio Brown for taking too many celebration penalties, believing his numerous dances to be a detriment to the Steelers' special teams units.

Brown was penalized for dancing along with teammate Le'Veon Bell during Thursday's 28-7 win against the Indianapolis Colts.

"He knows, we all know, coach Tomlin brought it up yesterday, that is a huge penalty and we can't do that," Roethlisberger said Tuesday on 93.7 The Fan. "We put our kick coverage team in a bad situation and we can't have that, and AB knows that."

Roethlisberger is also convinced Brown is more likely to get penalized during prime-time games.

"I know for a fact that he’s scored touchdowns in one o'clock games that aren't the big prime time games and they haven't flagged him."
