Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown taken to hospital after calf injury vs. New England Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was taken to a local hospital for X-rays after sustaining a left calf injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots at Heinz Field.

Brown was officially ruled out for the game, the team announced.

Brown smacked his lower leg with New England defensive back Eric Rowe in the end zone. He was helped off the field to the chants of "MVP, MVP."

Earlier in the game, Brown caught his 100th pass of the season to become the only player in NFL history with 100 catches in five consecutive seasons.
