Antonio Brown Strips Down, Abruptly Leaves Mid-Game At MetLife Stadium
The wide receiver took most of his uniform off and threw it into the crowd before leaving the Buccaneers-Jets game in the third quarter.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — The last few years of Antonio Brown's NFL career have been anything but usual, with the Hall of Fame caliber wide receiver facing felony charges, assault allegations and multiple exits from multiple teams.
It also included a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady last year, but his time in Tampa Bay almost certainly came to an end on Sunday in Northern New Jersey.
Brown shed most of his jersey during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets, throwing much of it into the stands before walking off the field, and, possibly, out of the league for good.

NFL Twitter, and much of the league itself, were confounded by what they saw from Brown on Sunday, but what happened after he left the field was just as bizarre.
A security officer at the stadium told ESPN that they initially thought the shirtless Brown was a fan who jumped down from the stands. New Jersey State Troopers also declined to give Brown a ride home from the stadium, the report said.
According to the New York Post, Brown wasn't picked up by an Uber as many initially reported, but instead was given a ride by Bloomfield-based driver Danny Chalet. Chalet lists clients like Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley and Jamal Adams on his resume.
Brown took to social media to thank the Bucs for his opportunity with the team, posting this photo:
