Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown offered an interesting analogy for his relationship with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
"It's like Wi-Fi, you know," Brown said, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Sometimes the connection is poor. Sometimes the connection is great. But it's always connected."
Brown has had a relatively slow start to the year and heads into Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with 29 receptions on 53 targets for 272 yards and three touchdowns. He's on pace to finish nearly 500 yards shy of his league-leading total of 1,533 from 2017.
The four-time All-Pro has faced some criticism this season, recently responding to it by telling reporters "I can't throw it to myself."
Despite those comments, Brown says he and Roethlisberger are on good terms.
"Me and Ben laugh about you guys, creating drama, writing about us," he said. "Trying to create adversity and distractions. We actually text about it, laughing, communicate a lot on text message about you guys."
