You know what the New Orleans Saints’ playoffs saga needed to really put a cherry on top? Input from Antonio Brown, said no one but Antonio Brown.
Brown chimed in from his official Twitter account with a post suggesting the Saints’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round was the result of a curse he put on them, connecting their elimination to previous exits from other teams connected to him.
That includes the New England Patriots (who lost to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday), the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers (both teams that needed some things to break their way to even make the playoffs, which they did not get), and the Buffalo Bills (who were beaten by the Houston Texans).
The Bills once tried to acquire Brown while he was with the Steelers, but the trade fell apart, so his connection with them is even less concrete than that between him and the Saints, who worked him outwith five other free agent wide receivers.
It’s a ridiculous thing for Brown to assert, but he’s all about acting ridiculously these days. He can’t get a job with the Saints or anyone else, so acting like a court jester on social media might be all that’s left for him.
