Pittsburgh Steelers’ QB Ben Roethlisberger expects Richard Sherman to follow Antonio Brown

The Pittsburgh Steelers are anticipating that Richard Sherman will exclusively cover star receiver Antonio Brown when they play the Seattle Seahawks Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers —or at least QB Ben Roethlisberger — think they know the answer to one of the big questions heading into a game Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.

That question is, will Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman exclusively cover Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown?

Brown ranks second in the NFL in both receptions (79) and receiving yards (1,141), a resume obvious enough to give Seattle reason to want to cover him with Sherman, who has increasingly this season taken on the task of covering a single receiver in a game.
