Colts' Pat McAfee asks Antonio Brown not to mash his face in on Thanksgiving image

Pat McAfee might like mashed potatoes, but he has no interest in his face becoming mashed potatoes.

With the Colts facing the Steelers on Thanksgiving night, McAfee politely requested via Twitter that Steelers wide receiver-punt returner Antonio Brown not stomp his face during the affair.

McAfee's concerns aren't baseless. You may remember that in 2014, Brown karate-kicked Browns punter Spencer Lanning square in the jaw. It was the best Jean-Claude Van Damme impression we've seen on a football field.

Well, Pat, here's to hoping you can chew your turkey with an intact jaw after Thursday's matchup.
