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.
Tom Brady has been nicer to me, on more Sundays, for more years than any woman. Lol.

Sounds like the team owner needs to tell him to ‘keep on running’ because your contract has been canceled because of your outburst.
Humm. Burrow was good. It was a pretty even match. In the end the officiating and the clock beat the Chiefs.
Could be a squirrel got up his pants.
Hah! I was a fan when they were the Boston Patriots and played at Fenway! Time warp.
I know plenty hate Brady. Not me. He’s a one in a million athlete, leader and teamate.
Anthony Brown needs help- but if it’s CTE there’s not any cure and treatment seems elusive. I feel for him and yet they had to cut him loose.
Antonio Brown is no longer a Buc now. He is done.
But, what's this "NFL"?
“Tom Brady has been nicer to me, on more Sundays, for more years than any woman. Lol.”
He could have been mine all these years. He was almost a Raider in the beginning. Instead he ended up doing that Tuck Rule thing that I still haven’t recovered from🤪.
Large poorly behaving children.
He was pretty normal until Trevor Burfict cheap shotted him and gave him a concussion.
which led to the former New England Patriots wide receiver’s outburst.
...But he did play in one game for the Patriots for 61 yards.
If they rape or kill on the field, I suspect that’d get a firing too.
