The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a vintage, last-minute comeback drive from Tom Brady against the New York Jets, but it wasn’t the biggest story to come out of MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
That belonged to Antonio Brown, who erupted on the sideline during the game, tossing his jersey and shoulder pads aside and chucking other equipment into the crowd before walking across the field shirtless while play continued behind him.
As the situation unfolded, it didn’t take long for social media to weigh in on Brown’s outburst and subsequent departure from the game, his uniform, and apparently his career with the Bucs:

This sideline report is incredible. Stadium security thought there was a shirtless fan on the field and intended to tackle him before they realized it was Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown is one of the greatest WR talents the NFL has ever had. But some of the stuff in his career is freaking insane:
*Burned his feet in a cryotherapy chamber.
*Helmet controversy with Raiders.
*Used a fake vaccine card
*Takes off uniform midgame and just leaves.— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) January 2, 2022
