Ben Roethlisberger disappointed with Antonio Brown's 'temper tantrum'

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger called Antonio Brown's sideline flare-up "unfortunate" and wished the All-Pro receiver talked to him personally about the missed play from Sunday's game.

"That goes a lot further than throwing a temper tantrum," Roethlisberger said on his weekly radio spot with 93.7 the Fan.

In the second quarter of the Steelers' 26-9 win over the Ravens, Brown broke free on a double move but Roethlisberger worked the other side of the field, resulting in an incompletion intended for Le'Veon Bell.

From the sideline after the play, Brown flipped a Gatorade bucket and shrugged off offensive coordinator Todd Haley as the coach tried to calm him.
