And through being the worst teammate he possibly could have been, Antonio Brown got exactly what he wanted.
The superstar wide receiver threw a fit in a standoff with Ben Roethlisberger in the week leading up to a crucial Week 17 game, skipped meetings and walkthroughs and reportedly left that Sunday game at halftime when he wasn’t going to see the field.
