Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown is racking up the awards as if they were receptions.

Brown was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December/January, his second straight month winning the award. Brown, who finished off the regular season with 13 receptions for 187 yards in a win over Cleveland, had 51 catches during the five-week period for 624 yards and five touchdowns. His best game came in a victory over Denver, when he reeled in 16 receptions for 189 yards and two scores.
