Antonio Brown Goes Full Tantrum, Undresses Before Leaving Bucs’ Sideline
It was a truly bizarre scene in New York
Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown went into a full tantrum before leaving the Tampa Bay sideline and departing for the tunnel during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Brown, who obviously has had his share of off-the-field issues throughout his NFL career, first took off his uniform and shoulder pads before proceeding to take off his undershirt and gloves. He threw his black undershirt and gloves into the stands in New York.
The reasoning behind the incident is not yet known. It came with the Buccaneers trailing the Jets 24-10 with three minutes left in the third quarter. Brown, prior to his exit, saw five targets from quarterback Tom Brady and turned them into three catches for 26 yards.

This comes shortly after Brown said the media was creating drama when asked by a reporter about using a fake vaccine card. Brown was suspended by the NFL after the allegations from his previous chef, who he did not pay, proved true.
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians shared how Tampa Bay would continue to stick by Brown despite the incident, admitting to changing in his stance. It’s very fair to question whether Brown will remain with the Buccaneers — or in the NFL — after Sunday’s incident.
After all, it certainly can be viewed as Brown quitting on the team, and perhaps his professional career.
