Antonio Brown sparked a wave of reactions on social media by taking a dig at an NFL quarterback, causing his post to go viral. The incident began when an NFL-themed account on X shared an image of the New York Giants’ new midfield logo, which is set to debut during their season opener against the Vikings on September 8.
The logo, a nostalgic tribute from 1950, features a player in the act of throwing a football, commemorating the Giants’ storied history.
However, Brown, never one to shy away from controversy, seized the opportunity to mock the Giants’ current quarterback, Daniel Jones. In his typical tongue-in-cheek style, Brown quipped that the player depicted in the logo was actually Jones in the process of throwing an interception—a comment that immediately caught fire online.

The jab comes at a time when Daniel Jones is under significant scrutiny, following a challenging season where he managed just 2 touchdowns while throwing 6 interceptions. The Giants are banking on Jones to elevate his performance this season and silence the doubters.
As they prepare for the opener, the team and its fans are hoping that Jones can rewrite his narrative and focus on leading the Giants to success, rather than being the target of pointed remarks like Brown’s.
