Call it the play that reminds you a little bit of every other significant postseason play you've ever seen. With time running out on the Ravens-Steelers game, Antonio Brown caught a 58-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger to set up the go-ahead touchdown.
Antonio Brown’s Catch Reminiscent Of Other Great Playoff Moments

It's 3rd-and-19, as you can see, so this isn't quite the 4th-and-26 play that cost the Packers so dearly several years ago. And Brown is clutching the ball to his helmet, but it's not quite like the catch David Tyree of the Giants made to help beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, given that Tyree was falling to the ground as he made that catch. (And it was the Super Bowl, which makes everything a bit more significant.)

None of that, of course, takes away from what is a great play by Brown. After all, the go-ahead touchdown ended up being the game-winning touchdown, sending the Steelers on to face the winner of Sunday's Jets-Patriots game in the AFC Championship. Which ensures that Brown's catch will likely take its own place in playoff lore, with its true importance being decided based on which team makes the game-winning play next week.
