As AB Turns; Brown says he's upset Steelers are losing

PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown says
he doesn't want to be traded and admitted he's got to do a better job of
limiting distractions going forward.
Brown raised eyebrows in the aftermath of Pittsburgh's loss to Kansas City last
Sunday when he skipped mandatory meetings on Monday for what he called personal
reasons.
Brown also responded to criticism on social media by suggesting the team should
trade him if it wants to find out how productive he can be when not playing
with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Brown stressed Thursday he wants to remain with the club and that he's simply
upset because Pittsburgh is winless through two games.
Though the team disciplined Brown for unspecified reasons, Brown said he
expects to be on the field at the start of Monday's game in Tampa Bay.
