Currently utilized as their 3rd wide receiver, Antonio Brown has rediscovered some of his form which made him so deadly over the years.
Ahead of the game against the Saints, Brown registered 6 touchdowns in 5 games. Including 1, in their first playoff game against the Washington Football Team.
The wide receiver played a limited number of snaps versus the Saints. He struggled with the injury for a large part of the game and connected for only 1 pass worth 10 yards.
Bucs have plenty to fall back on
The Buccaneers passing game will surely miss Brown’s presence, especially in the short routes. But that is not to say that they do not have the resources to slot in a 3rd receiver.
