Brown made a terrific catch that appeared to be a touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' 30-23 win over the Houston Texans. But the play was reviewed and officials determined his second foot came down out of bounds, thus overturning the call.
After the game, a photo surfaced on Twitter showing both of Brown's feet in-bounds with a little of the turf clearly showing between his foot and the end-zone line:

He does have a right to be upset, and so do his fantasy owners. But given how the NFL usually handles criticism of its officials, it is likely for a fine coming in Brown's future. Brown had another good game on Monday with nine receptions for 90 yards. He even threw a touchdown pass to fellow receiver Lance Moore:
Brown has 50 receptions for 719 yards, both of which lead the league, and five touchdowns through seven games this season. A sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft, Brown has developed into Ben Roethlisberger's top receiving target and one of the best fantasy football performers of the year.
