TAMPA, Fla — Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown left mid-game on Sunday during the third quarter. Brown also threw his shirt and glove into the stands before exiting the field. Now he is seemingly off the team.
In a post-game interview, Head Coach Bruce Arians said Brown is no longer a Buc. No word yet on the reason behind the outburst.

Tom Brady coolly led the Bucs on a 93-yard drive in the final minutes for a 28-24 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. Brown’s mid-game meltdown came late in the third quarter with Tampa Bay trailing 24-10. He appeared animated while talking to teammate Mike Evans when he stripped off his pads, jersey, gloves and T-shirt — tossing the gloves and T-shirt into the stands. He then jogged into the tunnel.
