Brandon Browner is putting all friendships aside for the Super Bowl and will encourage his teammates to do anything possible to win, even if it means crossing some unethical lines.
Browner says he wants his New England Patriots teammates to target the injuries of his opponents. For instance, during an interview with ESPN’s Josina Anderson, Browner said he would encourage his teammates to target Richard Sherman’s elbow and Earl Thomas’ shoulder.
“At the end of the day, this is about the Super Bowl. I’€™m gonna tell my teammates ‘€˜go hit that elbow, go hit that shoulder,”€ Browner said. “€œHit it, yeah. Try to break it if you can. You can be my best friend after the game but, at the end of the day, I know you want the Super Bowl just as bad as I do.”
What adds an extra twist to Browner’s strong comments is that he used to play for the Seahawks and teamed with Sherman and Thomas to form the “Legion of Boom” secondary. But now is no time for friendships as Browner has a game to win. He also has even more motivation because he missed last year’s Super Bowl after being suspended for PEDs. This time he wants to be on the field earning one.
