Related Topics: Antonio Brown

Pittsburgh Steelers star wideout Antonio Brown enters Week 14 against the New England Patriots having amassed 9,886 receiving yards over the course of his seven-plus year career in the NFL.

Should he record 114 receiving yards during Sunday's tilt, Brown would tie Detroit Lions great Calvin Johnson for the fewest games required (115) to surpass 10,000 receiving yards, per NFL Communications. Johnson accumulated 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns on 731 receptions over nine seasons before calling it quits after the 2015 season.

A sixth-round selection in the 2010 NFL draft, Brown was a relative unknown as a rookie.
