Antonio Brown Held to Less Than Five Catches and 50 Yards

This is bold.

As stated earlier, Davis will most likely be shadowing Brown all game and because of the safety help, Brown’s ability to get behind the defense will be diminished. The Steelers will try a few screen passes put it is to no avail.

With a safety often playing above Brown, Roethlisberger will look to other options and find other targets that won’t be covered as tightly. An effective ground game could also be a detriment to Brown’s production. If Le’veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount are able to have a good game against the Colts stingy defense, Roethlisberger will not try to force the ball to Brown and make the Colts pack to box. However, if the Colts jump out to a big lead early, Pittsburg may have to abandon the run game early.
