FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It’s a good thing it’s almost Sunday, because the Patriots have pretty much run out of adjectives when it comes to describing Antonio Brown.
The Steelers' wide receiver, who leads the NFL in catches (99) and receiving yards (1,509) and is second in receiving touchdowns (nine) is arguably the most complete receiver the Patriots will face this season.
