Steelers' Antonio Brown: JuJu Smith-Schuster's head shot on Vontaze Burfict was 'karma'
Antonio Brown made headlines for all the wrong reasons Tuesday morning.
After teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster's head shot on Vontaze Burfict knocked the Bengals linebacker out of the game in the fourth quarter Monday night during the Steelers' 23-20 victory, Brown called the hit "karma."
Brown, the Steelers' all-world wide receiver, was knocked out by Burfict during a January 2016 AFC wild-card playoff game.
While JuJu Smith-Schuster was being interviewed about his hit on Burfict, Antonio Brown walked behind him and kept shouting "Karma, it's called KARMA." Burfict, you may recall, gave Brown a concussion in 2015 playoffs

Smith-Schuster was remorseful afterward, suggesting he shouldn't have stood over the fallen Burfict as the linebacker remained on the ground.
"After seeing the replay, I think I should have held back a little bit more," Smith-Schuster said. "Also, that's not me. I should have never stood over him. I apologize for that."

Brown? Not so much.
Asked to clarify if his "karma" comments were in regards to Burfict gettin knocked out of the game, ABrown said:
"I aint talking about nobody, just karma is karma. Karma is in life; you do the wrong things, you get the wrong things happen to you. Its not personal between no one."" Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) December 5, 2017
