On Thursday night, the Steelers and Bills were reportedly closing in on a deal to send Antonio Brown to Buffalo (lmao, Buffalo).

At first, it looked like the Raiders and 49ers -- both teams were previously linked to Brown -- missed out on the star wide receiver.
But did the NFL pull a Steve Harvey? The league's official IG account (@NFL) posted the news on Thursday night, and AB responded:

AB was confused and understandably in denial, but the rest of the world was having a field day on Twitter.

Throughout all the excitement, it looks like AB might not be headed to Buffalo after all.
An NFL source says #Bills have inquired about Antonio Brown with the #Steelers, but no deal is imminent. In fact, another league source termed it "unlikely."— Vic Carucci (@viccarucci) March 8, 2019
ESPN doesn't have it up on their NFL page, there's nothing from Schefter, and they're not even doing their "Sources" thing. Tomorrow should be hella interesting, kids.— Doug Farrar (@NFL_DougFarrar) March 8, 2019
After all the roasts and the memes, the Niners and Raiders still could have a chance at AB.
