Colts punter Pat McAfee appears to be nervous for Thursday's game, because when the Colts host the Steelers on Thanksgiving, McAfee will be forced to punt the ball to Steelers receiver and returner Antonio Brown.
In addition to being one of the league's most dynamic playmakers, Brown also features a lethal kick. Just ask Spencer Lanning, the ex-Browns punter who tried to tackle Brown two years ago and ended up getting kicked in the face.
So, ahead of the game, McAfee sent a special request to Brown.
Hey @AntonioBrown.. it's gonna be Thanksgiving.. my mom's gonna be there.. once again, none of this.. please.. thanks in advance pic.twitter.com/cIKMFuI94a

Brown responded with a suggestion: Punt the ball out of play.
.@PatMcAfeeShow you should just kick it out of bounds brother !

Kidding, happy Thanksgiving Momma McAfee !
McAfee was relieved.
Hahaha, you're the man... Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours https://t.co/AUwR8mA9PU

For what it's worth, this isn't the first time McAfee has asked Brown to take it easy on him.
.@AntonioBrown84 bruh... Please get all of the punter curb stomps out of your system before we make a visit to the Steel city.. #Ruthless

Anyway, I have a better solution for McAfee. Instead of punting the ball, the Colts should just run this play again.
