On December 7, 2014, the Pittsburgh Steelers visited the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium and rolled to a 42-21 victory behind 543 yards of total offense. Roethlisberger, his talented receiving core, and Le'Veon Bell could not be stopped on this day. Antonio Brown had another big game, hauling in 9 catches from Big Ben for 117 yards. Presented here is Brown's game-worn, signed and inscribed road white jersey photo-matched to that performance, one of eight 100-yard games in 2014 for the speedy, sure-handed wideout. Drafted in the 6th round out of Central Michigan, Brown was picked behind 194 players in the 2010 NFL Draft and has become arguably the best receiver in football. For the 2014 season, he put up video game stats with an NFL-best 129 catches and 1698 yards to go along with 13 touchdowns, while also returning punts and taking one to the house. He followed that up with a league-leading 136 catches in 2015. It's only a matter of time before he breaks Marvin Harrison's single-season record of 143.
The white Nike stretch Nylon jersey has Brown's player No. "84" sewn on the front, back and shoulders in black tackle twill, with "BROWN" in gold-on-black tackle twill sewn on a white nameplate on the back. Nike manufacturer's tagging inside the collar has his size 38 with the special ON FIELD code "219110032341" used to denote game jerseys, plus "2014" and "+4 LENGTH" flag tags. A "2" is marked in black next to the size. The NFL shield logo appears below the front neck with the Steelers team logo patch on the left chest. Sleeves are customized with elastic hem at the ends. In addition to the photo-matches on Getty, the date this jersey was worn is further verified by a strip of tape affixed below the front numbers with "12-7-14 PIT-42 CIN-21" marked in black, presumably by the Steelers' equipment manager (standard practice for dated Steelers gamers). Brown has signed and inscribed the back numbers in 8-9/10 silver felt pen with "Game Worn 2014" on the '8' and "vs. Bengals" on the '4'. The jersey appears to have been laundered, yet still shows an abundance of game use, most notably reddish paint transfers on the front used for multiple photo-matches (i.e. Getty 460114754). Killer gamer from perhaps the most exciting player in the NFL today.
