The revelation brought to light that Antonio Brown was already struggling with his ankle injury. Yet he was forced to play that day. But when the pain became too unbearable for him, he had a word with the coaches and decided to not enter the field anymore. When he told the same to Bruce Arians. The coach immediately misunderstood it with the veteran’s notorious attitude and told him to “get the ‘F’ out of the game.”

“Don’t get it twisted. My brothers have been good to me. From Tom to practice squad, we were a top-level unit. They have been good to me and knew nothing about my talks with coach last week. The team mishandled this situation. They let me down and, more importantly, my teammates.”

Since he believes that being a player is not like being a “robot”.
