With Tampa Bay down 24-10, Brown took off his shoulder pads, shirt, and gloves as he went to the locker room with a temper tantrum.
During the postgame press conference, Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians was asked to give his response to Brown’s departure during the middle of the game. Arians said that Brown is no longer a part of the team following his outburst.
