Antonio Brown couldn’t hide his glee online as his former team were eliminated from the NFL playoffs
Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from the NFL postseason in the most dramatic circumstances imaginable late on Sunday when Matt Gay fired a last-second field goal through the posts for the LA Rams, securing a 30-27 win and sucking the air out of the Bucs’ Raymond James Stadium in the process.
This all came after Brady, the evergreen quarterback now in his 45th year on this planet, had appeared to author another of his legendary comebacks when he levelled the score late on to overcome a deficit of 27-3 early in the third quarter.
It wasn’t to be, though, and Gay’s walk-off score secured the Rams a spot in the NFC Championship game for the first time since 2018 – but if the manner of the defeat was a tough one to take for Tampa Bay, perhaps not so for one of their former players.

Antonio Brown, the precociously talented wide receiver (and current free agent), was cast aside by head coach Bruce Arians earlier this month after a bizarre tantrum on the sideline in his team’s game against the New York Jets when, apparently dissatisfied with his usage in the game, he opted to strip off his uniform and theatrically make his way back to the locker room.
Brown’s histrionics came to much bemusement and reportedly may have cost him as much as $1 million in contract bonuses but it certainly seems that the controversial star has no regrets – nor any love lost to his former team after he appeared to revel in the Bucs’ misery on social media.
