Ben Roethlisberger is back and nobody is happier than Brown. Brown caught 17 passes for 284 yards. He had a critical 57-yard reception, thrown by Landry Jones after Roethlisberger was hurt, that set up the game-winning field goal.

Brown’s 17 catches is a Steeler single-game record and is tied for sixth in NFL history. His 284 receiving yards is another Steeler record and is ninth in NFL history.
