Bucs' Antonio Brown Takes Off Uniform, Runs Off Field in Bizarre Scene
NBC New York ^ | 12/2

The wide receiver left following an outburst on the sideline

Antonio Brown has left the building.

In one of the strangest moments of the NFL season, the Buccaneers wide receiver abruptly removed his shoulder pads and undershirt and jogged to the locker room at MetLife Stadium during the third quarter of Tampa Bay's Week 17 matchup with the New York Jets.

Here's video of the scene, which shows Brown stripping off his pads, throwing his undershirt and gloves into the stands, and running toward the locker room in the middle of the game while the Bucs were on offense.

Brown, who had three catches for 26 yards on five targets at the time, apparently "boiled over" and was "very upset" on the sideline, according to FOX sideline reporter Jen Hale.

Hale reported that Mike Evans and O.J. Howard tried to convince Brown to keep his shoulder pads on before he made his sudden exit. Here's another angle of the incident filmed by a fan in the stands.

It appears head coach Bruce Arians benched Brown, which led to the former New England Patriots wide receiver's outburst.

We'll update this article with more information as it becomes available.

"But they signed him, even with all the crap. They went for it anyway."

Cowboys' loss Tampa's gain lofl. That might be Jerry Jones best decision of the New Century. "Uh, no thanks." AB's agent is as nuts as he is - who do you think scripted all those late-season 1M bonus picks?

AB complains in the huddle, and Tom don't play that.

The worst part is, he's not done. Probably doesn't even sit out as season. 3.1Minumum Bucs contract player, available for 1.5M in 2022 as a scripted-play WR? He will easily find a home at Charlotte or Jacksonville.

I don’t know. He’s 33. He’s just getting more annoying. I mean never say never but I’m not sure many teams see an upside on a guy that couldn’t keep it together playing with Brady as a defending SB champ.

Give me a break.....If Tomlin was White, he’d have lost his job already.

Not in the burgh coaching for the Rooneys.

We had Coach Cower prior to Tomlin and he was the white version of Tomlin {except he spit when he spoke, and Tomlin talks in word salad}.

Both 15 year vets, both won a Superbowl and both were average coaches.

Neither got fired, as the Steelers have only had 3 coaches since 1968, do the math.

Not a single NFL franchise treats it's coaches the way the Steelers have since they hired Chuck Noll {and won four Super Bowls with him as coach}.

I'd have fired Tomlin years ago {nothing to do with color, because I'd have fired Cower way before he quit}, but I don't own the Steelers.

A John Madden take on that would have been great!

AB is a bipolar megalomaniac who is certain he can bully a lesser coach on a lesser team into tailoring 2nd- and 3rd-down playbook to his satisfaction and that is exactly what will finally happen.

Money is a bitch, so the bitch will whip him down where he belongs, to a soft coach -- Panthers (Matt Rhule) or Jags (whoever GM Trent Baalke suckers, plus 1st-round draft pick QB who won't care about AB's lunacy).

Bucs grew weary of the loony toon just like every other team 🤪

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians said that Antonio Brown “is no longer a Buc” after the wide receiver left the field during the third quarter against the New York Jets on Sunday

Buh bye 🤪

I read that Bruce Arians benched Brown right before this happened. Just another example of the white man keeping the black man down.

Some people aren’t even mature enough to play games for a living.
