American football player Antonio Brown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers caused another scandal in the NFL and was kicked off the team by his coach afterwards.

"He's no longer a Buc," said coach Bruce Arians on Sunday after the 28:24 success at the New York Jets.

The coach didn't want to say more about Brown.

69-year-old Arians made it clear that he only wanted to talk about the players who were still part of his team.

The 33-year-old Brown was so upset in the third quarter of the game against the New York Jets that he took off his jersey and just walked off the field. Brown had been replaced by coach Arians. His teammate Mike Evans tried in vain to stop him. Brown tossed his shirt and gloves to fans in the stands. Then he went into the cabin with a bare chest. The coaching team around Arians just looked at the action in awe.

"This is a difficult situation," said Buccaneers star Tom Brady.

“Everyone should do what he can to help him when he needs it.

We all love him.

He is very important to us, "said the 44-year-old quarterback.

"We want to see him at his best, but unfortunately it won't be on our team anymore." You have a lot of friendships that will last, said Brady.

He thinks the most important thing about football is relationships with friends and your teammates.

“You go beyond the game.

We should all be compassionate and empathetic now. "

Long scandalous nudes at Brown

Professional footballer Brown had caused quite a stir in the past. At the beginning of last season he switched to the Bucs, the first eight weeks he had been banned from the league for violating the code of conduct, then won the Super Bowl with his team. Most recently, Brown was sentenced to three-game suspension from the league for a forged vaccination ID.

The Brown scandal file is long anyway. In 2018 he is said to have thrown furniture out of a hotel window and almost met a 22-month-old child and his grandfather. He has been charged with multiple sexual harassment charges, including domestic violence and traffic offenses. Again and again he rebelled against the league and its teams. Brown, however, is a close colleague of Brady, who brought him to the Buccaneers despite all his personal problems. On Sunday evening, the Buccaneers won the Jets 28:24. 

The Green Bay Packers are meanwhile the best team in the National Football Conference (NFC) in the play-offs of the NFL. By the 37:10 against the Minnesota Vikings, the team around quarterback Aaron Rodgers improved their record to 13: 3 wins and is no longer displaced from number one on the seeding list of their conference. Even if the Detroit Lions were defeated on the last day of the regular season, the Packers may sit out in the first round of the play-offs and would then have home rights until the Super Bowl on February 13 in Los Angeles.

For the first time since 2015, the Cincinnati Bengals have reached the play-offs.

The young team around quarterback Joe Burrow defeated the Kansas City Chiefs after a temporary 14-point deficit by a field goal shortly before the end with 34:31 and secured first place in the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC).

Participation in the play-offs on Sunday in the AFC, after the Chiefs who had already qualified, also won the Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots.

In the NFC, in addition to the Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals, the Philadelphia Eagles have also been play-offs since Sunday.

The Eagles won 20:10 at the Washington Football Team and at the same time benefited from the Packers' victory over the Vikings.

The German-American football professional Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions set another record in the NFL. He got two touchdowns in one game on Sunday (local time) in the 29:51 bankruptcy at the Seattle Seahawks. A German player had never succeeded in doing this before. The rookie of the month December had already shone with a total of three touchdowns this season. The season will end for the Lions after the regular round.

Mark Nzeocha crowned his return to the San Francisco 49ers with a win. With the 23: 7 win against the Houston Texans, the 49ers still have the chance to be in the playoffs. With nine wins from 16 games they are third in the NFC West Division. Nzeocha was brought back to the training team last Wednesday. Before that, the Franconian had made 47 appearances for San Francisco in four seasons (2017 to 2020).

The New England Patriots with Jakob Johnson from Stuttgart also reached the playoffs.

The American football team from New England prevailed on Sunday with 50:10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

For the first time after the departure of star Tom Brady in 2019, the Patriots reached the knockout round.

Coach Bill Belichick's team benefited from the fact that the Miami Dolphins lost to the Tennessee Titans.
