Antonio Brown wasn't alone on a football field catching passes Sunday. It just felt like it at times.
The Pittsburgh Steelers receiver caught 17 passes for 284 receiving yards on 23 targets in the 38-35 win over the Oakland Raiders. All three of those set Steelers franchise records.
For your Monday viewing pleasure:
Brown added 22 rushing yards on 2 carries.
"I had a good flow," Brown said, via NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala. "I was feeling really good, positive energy. I was in the flow and within every series we were getting the looks we practiced for, and I was pretty positive today."
More superlatives:
»Brown earned the seventh-most receiving yards in a single game in NFL history.

»A.B. joined Terrell Owens as the only two players in NFL history with 17 or more receptions and 280 or more receiving yards in a single game.
»Brown's 23 targets are T-3rd most targets in a single game since 1991 (as far as STATS can check). Only Brandon Marshall (28) and Chris Chambers (26) had more.
Even when Ben Roethlisberger exited the game, Brown continued to produce with Landry Jones under center.
"Most of the time, drop back, close your eyes and let it go to him," Jones said of Brown making quarterbacks look good.
We can't tell on the game-sealing catch and run by the wideout if Jones' eyes were indeed closed:
