There is no denying that when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers, their success or failure may be most tied to two players more than any other: quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the man throwing the ball, and wide receiver Antonio Brown, the man on the receiving end of all of those throws.
Over the course of the past three seasons, Brown, the seventh-year wide receiver, has repeatedly upped his game and put up better and better statistics, to the point at which he is putting some all-time NFL records in great peril, and it is hard to detect any slowing down of that pace.
Last season, he recorded 136 receptions, which was good for the second-most ever. He had already set the mark for the second-most receptions in a season the year before with 129. In 2015, he also recorded 1834 receiving yards, which stands as the fourth-most in a single season, and would have been third-most prior to 2015.
Those 136 receptions came on, depending on your source, approximately 190 targets, with the majority of them obviously coming from Roethlisberger, but some fairly wonder how many targets is too much for one player? This is coming after a season in which three players in the league nearly reached 200 targets.
