Colts’ Pat McAfee Begs Steelers’ Antonio Brown Not To Kick Him In The Face

Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee has a special Thanksgiving request for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown this year.

Colts’ Pat McAfee Begs Steelers’ Antonio Brown Not To Kick Him In The Face

Ahead of the two teams’ game in Indianapolis on Thursday night, McAfee has begged Brown not to kick him in the face.

During the 2014 season, Brown returned a punt against the Cleveland Browns and accidentally kicked punter Spencer Lanning square in the face in an attempt to hurdle over him. McAfee evidently hasn’t forgotten this incident.

McAfee added he especially doesn’t want to see this happen given that his mother is planning on attending his Thanksgiving day game.

The Colts punter sent out his request via Twitter, and Brown responded that he would be careful, but also jokingly stated that McAfee should just kick the ball out of bounds.

McAfee then responded again and returned Brown’s happy holiday wishes:

The Steelers (5-5) defeated the Cleveland Browns 24-9 on Sunday, while the Colts defeated the Tennessee Titans 24-17 that day.
