The Harrisons: Saints CB Brandon Browner returns to list he doesn't want to be on
In honor of Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison's bold stance, our weekly award for NFL players and coaches who didn't even deserve a participation trophy in Week 13.
BRANDON BROWNER
The New Orleans Saints cornerback returns to the list. He can’t cover anybody — commits a penalty on what seems like every other play. And now he is getting into his defensive coordinator’s grill. He should have been shown the door with Rob Ryan.
TOM COUGHLIN
Up by 10 points. Early in the fourth quarter. Fourth-and-2 the opponents' 4-yard line. Take the field goal and force the New York Jets to score two touchdowns. Coughlin, the New York Giants coach who always plays by the book, threw the book away while leading by 10 points. We know how it turned out. And now we throw the book at Coughlin.
ROBBIE GOULD
It’s not that you missed a 36-yard field goal that would have given the Chicago Bears the victory at the gun. It's the fact the kick wasn’t even close. We were embarrassed for you and realize a participation trophy would just make it worse.
KEVIN JOHNSON
We hate to pick on rookies, but time to grow up, guys. The Houston Texans first-round corner gave up two TDs and a 53-yard completion against the Buffalo Bills in a loss that knocked Houston out of a wild-card spot. You want a trophy? We gave it to J.J. Watt. Try to get it from him.
CORDARRELLE PATTERSON
He ruined the only feel-good moment for the Minnesota Vikings when he high-stepped the final 30 yards of a kick return for TD. The problem with the showboating? The Vikings trailed 35-0 at the time. There’s no “I” in team but there is an “m” and an “e.”
