Brown got beat by Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green for a game-winning, 77-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's regular-season opener. Starting in place of Lardarius Webb, Brown played nearly every defensive snap, finishing the game with five tackles (four solo). He struggled in the preseason and was viewed as the obvious weak link in the Baltimore defense, but he wasn't picked on that often until the biggest play of Sunday's game. Brown could make for a surprisingly strong IDP option if he gets another start, as he'd likely be challenged quite a few times by Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger. However, Brown isn't a particularly good tackler, and Webb is apparently making progress in his recovery.
