Antonio Brown scored a touchdown for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl and managed to accomplish the feat while running on the wrong route.
According to Buccaneers quarterback coach Clyde Christensen, Brown did the exact opposite of what he was supposed to do in the game.
“AB at your reception for touchdown it was to go down and get in and then go back out. He goes out and comes back in, ”said Christensen in an interview with former NFL gambler Pat McAfee on YouTube and Sirius XM. “I’m going through the headset like, ‘Did he run the right way? Did he just do the opposite of what he was supposed to do and did we hit for a touchdown? ‘That was the case. “
Brown went head-to-head against Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu in the game. He did a “whip” route, which was supposed to see him initially cut from the inside before jumping back to the sideline. Instead, Brown reversed the action and went back inside.
Despite Brown’s mistake, Tom Brady managed to make up for the deviation from the plan and still connected with Brown for the scoreboard.
“And that’s where Brady doesn’t get confused,” said Christensen. “He just hits the guy. – Hey, open you up, I’m going to hit you. That’s where he is quite unique. Many quarterbacks say ‘hey, he must do this. A to B to C. ‘This guy, AB, goes from C to F back to A and he just hits him for a touchdown. It was unbelievable. “
