Star Receiver Dispels Narratives About Final NFL Game
Antonio Browns NFL career was filled with controversy. But the finale of his career was perhaps his most memorable act. In his final career game with the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, Brown appeared to be having a dispute on the sideline with an assistant coach during a game against the New York Jets.
Brown could have talked the issues out with the coach calmly on the sideline or perhaps even waited until he got to the locker room. But instead Brown removed his helmet, jersey, and shoulder pads. He then ran off the sideline, onto the field, and into the locker room as he pumped up the crowd at MetLife Stadium.
A lot of people chalked up the spectacle as Brown just being up to his old antics. But he maintains the argument started after he told a coach he couldn't play because he was hurt.
"I took a seat on the sideline and my coach came up to me, very upset, and shouted, 'What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?' I told him, 'It's my ankle.' But he knew that. It was well-documented and we had discussed it," Brown said.
"He then ordered me to get on the field. I said, 'Coach, I can't.' He didn't call for medical attention. Instead, he shouted at me, 'YOU'RE DONE!' while he ran his finger across his throat. Coach was telling me that if I didn't play hurt, then I was done with the Bucs."
