The Ridiculous Adam Jones-Antonio Brown Feud Finally Ends With An Apology

It’s been almost a week since the Bengals imploded and cost themselves an AFC wild card round victory over the Steelers. The team has hardly been taking their loss well.

At the center of the controversy has been Bengals’ cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, who first unloaded on the referees after the game, and then accused Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown of faking a rather serious head injury.

Brown later responded with a brilliant photoshop, but Jones didn’t back down, saying he would only apologize to the NFL’s second leading receiver if he actually sat out Pittsburgh’s divisional round matchup with the Denver Broncos.

Well, on Friday morning, news broke that Brown would miss Sunday’s game with a concussion.

Brown quickly confirmed the news on Twitter, sending this message along to Steelers Nation.

This goes without saying, but Pacman’s accusation was bad form and a black eye for a league that’s having several issues both on and off the field with head injuries. To his credit, though, he owned up to his faux pas, saying:

“AB! My apology, my brother. I’m a man of my word, I’ve been doing a little traveling which is why it took me so long, but I apologize sincerely. Get well.”

Now that Brown is officially out, the attention turns to Ben Roethlisberger, who is officially listed as questionable after suffering a shoulder injury in the Steelers’ win.
