Right now, Antonio Brown makes headlines off the field rather than on it. That wasn’t always the case, but there was a notable exception after the Pittsburgh Steelers won their most recent playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016. Brown went live on Facebook from the Steelers’ locker room after the game, and during the clip, head coach Mike Tomlin could be heard calling the Patriots, Pittsburgh’s opponent in the AFC Championship Game, as “those assholes.”
Brown was fined by the team, and appearing on 93.7 The Fan earlier today with host Joe Starkey, former Patriots S Devin McCourty said that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick called a team meeting and told his players they would face major consequences if they did the same thing.
