No. 8:  Antonio Brown 3 Touchdown Game vs. Colts

The iconic Antonio Brown makes his appearance on this list, coming in at No. 8.  Coming into this game, it was already known that this was a mismatch game for Brown.  Vontae Davis is a good corner, but he can’t cover the shifty No. 84.

Brown would go on to catch three touchdowns this night.  The first on a back-shoulder throw.  The second would go deep and Brown was able to get both feet inbounds.  The last was a perfect throw to the pylon of the endzone and Brown snuck his feet in.

It’s not often you see Wide Receivers haul in 3 touchdowns, but Antonio Brown did it that night.

Would it be a Top Plays list if Antonio Brown wasn’t on it?

I think not.
