What did Bruce Arians say about Antonio Brown’s infamous Buccaneers exit?
On the “Not Just Football” podcast, Bruce Arians revealed some details about what actually happened that day.
“That’s probably my fault,” Arians said. “Mike (Evans) got hurt, Chris (Godwin) got hurt, he got like 12 or 13 targets the week before. I thought we’d tear the Jets up. They double-teamed him the whole time.
“So, Gronk was getting the balls in the middle, and he got upset at halftime and just said he wasn’t going back in if he wasn’t getting the ball. And I told him to get the h*** out of here, and he took it literally.”
Arians also praised Brown’s work ethic and commended his hard work to develop his skills.
“I love AB to death man. Nobody works harder on the practice field than AB. Nobody plays harder than AB. It’s just, sometimes, he gets in his own way.”
The wide receiver spent 12 seasons in the league and recorded 12,291 yards on 928 receptions and 83 TDs.
