For eleven days, Antonio Brown was a member of the New England Patriots’ wide receiver room. It was one of the most tumultuous periods in recent memory: from his arrival to his first game with the team to allegations of sexual misconduct to his release on Friday afternoon. But while Brown dominated the headlines, his now former teammates all had a job to do and prepare for the upcoming game against the New York Jets.
On Sunday, the result of this preparation was on full display: the Patriots’ wide receivers looked good against the team’s AFC East rivals, with almost the entire depth chart making key plays during the 30-14 victory.
