Buccaneers news: Tyreek Hill reacts to Antonio Brown 1st half vs Cowboys

After a dazzling first half for the Buccaneers vs the Cowboys, Antonio Brown set Twitter on fire. Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs took notice.

Antonio Brown had a stellar first half to open the 2021 season. He collected four catches for 118 yards and a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.

As one of the unsung heroes of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ Super Bowl run last season, Antonio Brown is definitely not content to fly under the radar once again. Chiefs star receiver Tyreek Hill immediately took notice, as the speedster tweeted:

Say what you want AB like that 😬

Regarding the “Say what you want” part of the tweet, it seems that Tyreek Hill is referencing Brown's murky public image, which includes a short, messy stint with the then-Oakland Raiders, an ugly divorce with the Pittsburgh Steelers after Antonio Brown complained about coaching and player relations, and sexual assault and rape allegations from a few years ago. No matter if you like him or not, you can't deny he's one of the all-time legendary wide receivers that our game has seen, but his behavior has certainly cast a cloud over his career.

He's entering his 12th season in the league, and has been selected to seven Pro Bowls, as well as a four-year stretch when he was named as an All-Pro team member in each season. We haven't seen numbers like his 2014-2015 stretch, when Antonio Brown averaged 133.5 receptions and 1,766 receiving yards per season, as well as double-digit touchdowns.

Brown's behavior was generally seen as ill-advised and counterproductive to his career, but it seems he's received the longer end of the stick compared to the Steelers. Though Pittsburgh has a talented receiving corps and a playoff-worthy roster, Antonio Brown now has won a Super Bowl, joined forces with the GOAT at quarterback, and seems to be living a life any player would envy with the Buccaneers.

For Hill and the Chiefs, they could legitimately embark on a collision course to meet the Bucs in the Super Bowl once again as long as both teams remain healthy. Will it happen? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, continue to enjoy watching Antonio Brown highlights.
