Brent Grimes' Wife Miko Suggests Bucs Benched Him vs. Bears as Payback

Miko Grimes, the wife of Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes, believes the team punished him in 2018 by making him focus on defending the top receivers for opposing teams.

During an episode of her iHeartMiko Podcast (h/t ESPN.com's Jenna Laine), she suggested the Bucs benched Brent in the second half of a Week 4 game against the Chicago Bears because he didn't want to shadow Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown the previous week.

"I think it was some bulls--t," Miko said.
