Colts Punter Asks Antonio Brown To Not Kick Him In Face

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Indianapolis Colts on Thanksgiving. In the spirit of the day, a Colts player has made a special request.

Indianapolis Colts punter and Plum native Pat McAfee has asked that Antonio Brown to not kick him in the face during tomorrow night's game.

If you're unfamiliar with the history, let's recap.

Back in 2014, Brown attempted to leap over Cleveland Browns punter Spencer Lanning. It didn't end well for Lanning.

As you can see, Brown didn't quite make it and planted his foot squarely into Lanning's face.

With that in mind, McAfee reached out to Brown over Twitter ahead of their Thanksgiving matchup.

Brown jokingly responded that McAfee should just kick the ball out of bounds.

McAfee took the joke in stride and wished Brown and his family a happy Thanksgiving as well.
