Brown was on an impressive run towards when he attempted to hurdle the Cleveland Browns' Spencer Lanning.
But instead of jumping over his opponent, he merely kicked him square in the face.
Luckily for Lanning, his helmet took the brunt of the hit as the Steelers were handed a 15-yard penalty for unecessary roughness and NFL fans the world over were given something to laugh about in the opening round of the season.
The incident elicits memories of another famous kick, this one coming in the 2010 World Cup final between Nigel de Jong and Xabi Alonso. Enjoy!
