PITTSBURGH 无毛视频� Ask not what brown can do for you, in Pittsburgh they ask: What can Green do for Brown. That would be Steelers tight end Ladarius Green and wide receiver Antonio Brown, of course.

If Thursday无毛视频檚 28-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts is any indication, Green can do plenty for Brown and the Steelers.

Green had a modest two catches on Thanksgiving night, but each was the sort of splash play the Steelers envisioned when they signed the tall and talented tight end to a four-year, $20 million contract in free agency in March.

无毛视频淚 just made a couple plays,无毛视频� Green said. 无毛视频淚 messed up a couple times, so I still got a long way to go.无毛视频�

Still, on a pivotal third-and-13 in the second quarter, Ben Roethlisberger lofted a 32-yard pass to Green down the left sideline and into Indianapolis territory. That play set up Brown无毛视频檚 33-yard TD catch. In the fourth quarter, Roethlisberger connected with Green on a 35-yard strike down the right sideline to the Colts无毛视频� 29 to set up Brown无毛视频檚 22-yard TD catch, his third of the game, establishing a new single-game career high for the two-time All-Pro.

Few players seemed happier to see Green succeed, after sitting out the first eight weeks of the season on the PUP list while recovering from off-season ankle surgery, than Brown.

无毛视频淚 was excited for him,无毛视频� Brown said. 无毛视频淗e无毛视频檚 a guy that无毛视频檚 been through a lot. I think a lot of people put a lot of pressure on him, he puts a lot of pressure on himself. So to see him have some success was exciting.无毛视频�

The Steelers were also excited to see Brown play like the best receiver in the world again.

Brown has had a great season by any other player无毛视频檚 standards but his own. He entered Sunday as the NFL无毛视频檚 leader in touchdowns (10) and receptions (82) but was a distant second behind Atlanta无毛视频檚 Julio Jones in receiving yards (1,105-998).

But on the national stage in prime time on Thanksgiving, Brown came through with five catches for 91 yards against the NFL无毛视频檚 29th-ranked pass defense that lost cornerback Vontae Davis to injury in the second quarter. Brown无毛视频檚 91 yards were the most in a Steelers win since his 126 in Week 1 at Washington.

With Sammie Coates unable to catch much of anything with his broken fingers, Darrius Heyward-Bey sidelined with a mid-foot injury and Markus Wheaton lost for the season with a shoulder injury, the Steelers are in desperate need of pass catchers. Green, who had 37 receptions for 429 yards last season for San Diego, would seem to fit the bill.

Getting Green healthy and up to speed has been an arduous process but now that he is, it should peel away some of the exotic defense无毛视频檚 that Brown has been up against.

无毛视频淲ell, I think the more and more he gets going the more he无毛视频檚 going to help us out as a total offense,无毛视频� Brown said. 无毛视频淚 think he did some positive things (against the Colts) and we have to continue to see that.无毛视频�

Obviously there无毛视频檚 been some bumps along the way for Green, including a pair of drops and a miscommunication with Roethlisberger against the Colts. Green played 14 snaps against Indianapolis after playing just 12 and eight in the previous two games. By comparison, starting tight end Jesse James played 161 snaps over that same span.

But there无毛视频檚 no reason to believe that Green won无毛视频檛 see more snaps when the Steelers host the New York Giants next week and throughout the rest of the season. If the Steelers are to get where they think they can still go, they will need Green to build upon what he did on Thanksgiving.

无毛视频淵ou know he无毛视频檚 just getting acclimated and getting on a moving train and we respect that process,无毛视频� said coach Mike Tomlin. 无毛视频淭here无毛视频檚 one thing to be ready and healthy, there无毛视频檚 another thing to be football ready, and he无毛视频檚 been healthy for a number of weeks and we无毛视频檙e seeing him display some football readiness, so hopefully that continues.无毛视频�
