PITTSBURGH -- Showtime's "Inside the NFL" mic'd up Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger for the Pittsburgh Steelers' 24-14 win over the New York Giants, and weirdness ensued.

After Roethlisberger's touchdown pass to Ladarius Green in the third quarter, Brown greeted Big Ben by saying, "Hey, Billy, you did it."

Roethlisberger, touching Brown's helmet, replied, "Good job, Ronald."

Brown took a left turn with his media interviews last week by requesting he be addressed as "Ronald," with the reason being "top secret."

Roethlisberger said Wednesday that he has no idea why Brown calls himself Ronald or calls his quarterback Billy. But he seems to be rolling with it.

The two can use whichever nicknames they want after connecting on 11 touchdowns through 12 games. Brown can become the 33rd receiver in NFL history to catch 15 touchdowns in one season.

To little surprise, Brown was animated on the mic Sunday, asking Odell Beckham Jr. before the game to "pray it up" with him and saying before his 20-yard touchdown catch that "I can shake 'em in the red zone. We're about to cash in."

Brown went high on Janoris Jenkins in tight coverage for a touchdown off a scramble play, after which Brown said repeatedly, "Let's Go."

Brown finished the game with six catches for 54 yards.
