Yes, he knows the first thing you probably thought of when you heard the Broncos claimed him off waivers was that infamous kick-to-face he took from Antonio Brown last September.

Spencer Lanning, the former Cleveland Browns punter, was kicked by the Steelers receiver as he returned a punt in the second quarter of a wild game in Pittsburgh on Sept. 7. Brown attempted (but failed) to hurdle Lanning as he ran the ball back, and was called for unnecessary roughness on the play.

It’s a moment that has stuck with Lanning, so, inevitably, he was asked about it in his first day with the Broncos.
