Top Reactions To Steelers WR Antonio Brown's Flip Into The End Zone
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown always seems to come up with something memorable when the team plays the rival Cleveland Browns.
This past Sunday was no exception.
You'd have to be living under a rock to not see, or hear about Brown's incredible front flip into the end zone after scoring a touchdown.
The move has been debated all week in Pittsburgh sports.
As you can imagine there were a lot of great tweets on Twitter following the perfectly landed flip.

Before we get to some of our favorites, let's just watch AB's form… in slow motion.

When a gold medalist speaks, you listen:
@AntonioBrown84 Way to stick that landing! Perfect 10! #SteelersNation

What else is there to say? Yes that's U.S. gold medal gymnast, and huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan Mary Lou Retton giving AB props.
Who knew she was such a big Steelers fan?
To all my followers, I'm a HUGE Steelers fan. Growing up in north central West Virginia the Steelers and WVU Mountaineers were my teams

Local Pittsburgh favorite Benstonium also got into the AB front flip game.
They also played off of the Olympic like feat of the flip and like AB's flip, they also nailed it!

To be fair, Antonio Brown isn't the first Steeler player to attempt a flip into the end zone this year.
Remember when Martavis Bryant took a screen pass 88-yards for a touchdown and "attempted" a flip as well.
Martavis Bryant is making up for lost time FAST.

88-yard screen pass to the HOUSE!
Are you kidding me?!? #AZvsPIT http://t.co/6Z3f9eARLc
It was a cute attempt, and after Brown's flip, it only made this tweet funnier.
Some can flip like @AntonioBrown84. Some need work like @ThaBestUNO. Some don't get a chance https://t.co/5BZM0RIiDV pic.twitter.com/yanvNrT7qt

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had some words for Bryant after that "attempt" at a flip, telling him not to do it again.
Big Ben also had the same reaction to Antonio Brown's flip, telling 93-7 The Fan during his weekly radio show:
"You know, he gets caught up in the moment. I said listen, 'if you get hurt, was it worth it? Whether it's career ending or season ending, was it worth it?' And he is so apologetic about it. He's like, 'No, I'm so sorry.' I told him, "AB, that was probably one of the most athletic things I've ever seen anybody do, that was so impressive, don't ever do it again."
We'll have to see if Brown listens to Ben, since he apparently told ESPN that a backflip, or cartwheel could be coming the next time he scores.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was OK with the flip. "I am," he said. "Judge it."
Before we go, we have to reiterate that Antonio Brown must really love playing the rival Cleveland Browns.
Who could forget this gem from last year, when Brown "accidentally" drop kicked Browns punter Spencer Lanning.

Of course Brown was fined for the kick, but it did lead to one of our favorite Benstonium clips ever.
It's on to Seattle after the bye week for the Steelers.
