Antonio Brown broke his silence on Wednesday, accusing the Buccaneers of a cover-up and announcing he will have ankle surgery in a lengthy statement outlining his version of events after a bizarre scene on Sunday.
With the Buccaneers trailing the Jets 24-10 in the second half, Brown appeared to be in a heated discussion on the sidelines. Eventually, Brown got so worked up, he began pulling off his jersey and shoulder pads. He tossed them aside, then launched his undershirt and gloves toward the crowd. Finally, he jogged off the field — crossing through the end zone and motioning for the crowd to cheer him on.
