DeVante Parker comments on sideline blow-up with WR coach Troy Brown

DeVante Parker comments on early sideline blow-up with Troy Brown on Sunday

Things went so great for the New England Patriots in Sunday’s road meeting with the Cleveland Browns that most forgot about the brief sideline blow-up between wideout DeVante Parker and receivers coach Troy Brown.

The two had to be separated after tempers flared during a heated discussion. Whatever the issue both men had was obviously addressed considering Parker had himself quite the game, leading the team with four receptions for 64 yards.

When asked about the argument after the game, Parker refused to go into the exact details, but he did pour a bucket of ice water on any attempt to make the situation bigger than what it was.

“That’s what happens,” said Parker, per NESN.com. “It’s the NFL. Arguments happen. It’s football.”

Parker isn’t wrong.

Arguments do happen all of the time when teams are competing and trying to win football games. The good news for the Patriots is there weren’t any lingering effects from the sideline spat, as Parker went right back to the business of dominating Cleveland’s defensive backs.

Here’s to hoping there’s more where that effort came from in the coming weeks, as the Patriots look to improve their standing in an increasingly competitive AFC East division.
