Antonio Brown leaves game with left leg injury
Antonio Brown had to be helped off the field and exited Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots because of a left leg injury.
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a 2nd-and-18 situation early in the second quarter when Ben Roethlisberger threw to Brown in the end zone. Brown was unable to hold onto the ball and got crunched by two defenders. He was down in the end zone grabbing his left leg afterwards.
Brown was helped off the field and taken into the medical tent for examination.

He later headed into the locker room.
Brown had two catches for 24 yards prior to leaving the game. On Sunday, he became the first NFL player to record five consecutive 100-catch seasons.
