Antonio Brown is an absolute beast. He came into Week 9 4th in the NFL in receiving yards behind Julio Jones, Keenan Allen, and DeAndre Hopkins. During this week’s contest against the Raiders, he reminded everyone why he still is the best wideout in the NFL, as he set a Steelers record with 285 yards on 17 receptions.
Pittsburgh needed every single one of those yards, too, as they narrowly escaped with a 38-35 win over the Raiders, losing Ben Roethlisberger in the process.
Brown racked up the 9th most receiving yards in a single game in NFL history and the most since Calvin Johnson somehow grabbed 329 in 2013, and he did it partially because of plays like this.

And this one.

And somehow staying in bounds on this play.

Also he did it by racking up nearly 60 yards yards on one play by completely burning the Raiders’ secondary.
There's wide open and then there's whatever Antonio Brown was on this 59-yard catch. #OAKvsPIT https://t.co/6XkTIo27N7

To put the cherry on top, Brown made the play that set up the Steelers eventual game-winning field goal with this 57-yard completion.
Ok, now it's a FINAL: #Steelers pick up HUGE win, improve to 5-4. @AntonioBrown84 is still a BEAST. #HereWeGo https://t.co/1ggipTsiru

Brown was so good that the only way the Steelers could show his dominance was by turning him into an 8-bit video game character.
With 15 catches and 224 yards receiving, @AntonioBrown84 is definitely #SmallButPowerful.#HereWeGohttps://t.co/WLUxWtzZSc

Just to reiterate once again, Antonio Brown is a beast.
