Antonio Brown made a bizarre exit from the MetLife Stadium during the Week 17 matchup of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His exit was so hilarious that people on social media couldn’t hold on to themselves but create a joke out of it. It was an eventful game for the Buccaneers, but most certainly, it was for the wide receiver.

During the post-game conference, the head coach Bruce Arians and quarterback Tom Brady mentioned Antonio Brown bailing. But there were no specifics revealed as to why did the receiver leave. However, later, it was found that Antonio Brown refused to enter the game late in the third quarter after he was benched by coach Arians. Following his refusal, the coach told the receiver to leave.

This intimidating situation might have sparked a subject of dissent between the receiver and the coach, which led to the most bizarre outbreaks of the season.
