Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Browns has continued to show his frustration over his relationship with the Steelers organization. He even suggested in a tweeted that he believes that Mike Tomlin benching him in Week 17 was the product of his lack of accountability.

He was responding to a fan who had tweeted at him that he didn't love football because he sat out the final game. However, Brown believes that they sat him out to jumpstart the narrative that he was the bad guy.

Brown tweeted:

“After the coach tell the team I quit while nursing some bumps then invite me to watch the show with same guys thinking I quit i can not stand with that! I’m the bad guy doe we miss post season think about it.”

It's hard to get a point across in just a simple tweet, but one thing is clear. He truly believes that his head coach made him the fall guy. At this point, their relationship is beyond broken. Brown has to be on his way out.

During the 2018 season with the Steelers, Brown ended up catching 104 passes for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. Brown has had six straight seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards and 100 receptions.

Brown did not play in the final game of the season because he never showed up to practice late in Week 17. Mike Tomlin ended up benching Brown. It was just the icing on the cake of a miserable season for the Steelers.

The Steelers ended the season at 9-6-1 and finished 2nd in their AFC North Division.
