Antonio Brown insists he's still in sync with Ben Roethlisberger even though their numbers together are down.Roethlisberger and Brown are one of the most prolific quarterback-wide receiver tandems in NFL history Mohamed Sanu Jersey , but the duo has struggled to find a rhythm through four games as Pittsburgh has stumbled to a 1-2-1 start.They'll seek consistency entering the Steelers' home game Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons."It's like Wi-Fi," Brown said Friday. "Sometimes the connection is poor. Sometimes the connection is great. But it's always connected."Brown eclipsed 1,500 yards receiving three of the last four years and is the only player in NFL history to have five straight seasons with at least 100 receptions. Last season, the four-time All-Pro averaged 15.2 yards per catch on 101 receptions and he led the league with 1,533 yards, but his statistics are down this year.Brown's 53 targets are second-most in the league, but he has just 29 receptions for 272 yards receiving and a 9.4-yard per catch average, well below his 13.4-yard career mark. Brown maintained Friday that his relationship with Roethlisberger is strong."Me and Ben laugh about (the media) creating drama, writing about us, trying to create adversity and distractions," Brown said. "We actually text about it. We communicate a lot on text messages about you guys."Roethlisberger and Brown have connected on 723 completions, good for the fourth-most in NFL history between a quarterback and wide receiver. Their 62 touchdowns are the most in franchise history, and one score Sunday will tie Roethlisberger and Brown for No. 10 all-time with Johnny Unitas and Raymond Berry.Roethlisberger Authentic Ryan Schraeder Jersey , who currently ranks second in the league with 1,414 passing yards, blamed himself for Brown's slow start."I think I just have to play better to help him get his numbers, which would help us get wins," Roethlisberger said.Last week against Baltimore, Brown caught five passes for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. He was targeted five times in the second half, but caught one pass for five yards as Pittsburgh managed just 47 yards of offense after halftime during a 26-14 loss.Brown believes a win against the Falcons can cure the Steelers' woes."We're going to make our plays," said Brown, who needs one touchdown catch to tie John Stallworth for third-most in franchise history. "The plays will be there. We just gotta find a way to win."Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin expects Roethlisberger and Brown to rebound."They'll smooth it out," Tomlin said. "Oftentimes people spend a lot of time to minimize tandems such as (Roethlisberger and Brown), and usually over the course of the journey the cream rises, and they'll show what they are capable of. They have done it for a long time. They'll be the formidable tandem that they always are."NOTES: S Morgan Burnett (groin), LB Vince Williams (hamstring) and WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) are all listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Atlanta. Burnett would miss his third straight game. Williams' streak of 83 consecutive regular-season games played — fourth-longest among active NFL linebackers — is expected to end. CB Mike Hilton is expected to return after missing the Ravens game with an elbow injury. No need to wonder why the Giants are 1-5 and the Falcons are 2-4. The first half showed why both teams are where they are.In an awful first half Youth Austin Hooper Jersey , the Falcons lead 10-3. The game had no score until 4:51 remained until halftime.The Giants produced 147 yards, allowed four sacks and punted three times. The Falcons gained 191 yards, allowed three sacks and punted three times.The teams have combined for 41 rushing yards, with Saquon Barkley getting 8 yards on seven carries.Atlanta took a 7-0 lead on a 47-yard pass from Matt Ryan to Marvin Hall. The Giants then had an 11-play, 77-yard drive, getting to the Atlanta 9-yard line before Eli Manning was sacked. They settled for a 31-yard field goal by Aldrick Rosas. The Falcons got a field goal of their own when Giants safety Michael Thomas drew a 38-yard interference penalty on Julio Jones to set up a 40-yard field goal by Giorgio Tavecchio with three seconds remaining in the half.Jones has five catches for 57 yards, and Odell Beckham has three for 57. Hall has two receptions for 56 yards, and Sterling Shepard two for 50.Manning has completed 13 of 16 passes for 154 yards, while Ryan is 12-for-18 for 193 yards and a touchdown.Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, returning to action after missing the past two games with an ankle injury, has two sacks.
