After the Patriots lost to the Titans and were eliminated from the NFL playoffs on Saturday night, Brown fired off a message directed at the Boston-area-based team. The message in his caption was clear: “What Could Of Been.” He also added several hashtags to make his message clearer.

“Mr. Kraft I apologize sincerely to you and your organization!” Brown wrote on Nov. 19. “All I wanted to be was an asset to the organization; sorry for the bad media and the drama! Thank you sincerely AB.”
