Washington Redskins linebacker Zach Brown appeared to take aim at his team's coaching staff following a series of tweets Saturday night.

Brown began the Twitter thread at 9:36 p.m. ET by saying "Smh ppl nowadays," which translates to "shaking my head, people nowadays."

The 29-year-old Brown then went a step further while referencing the Redskins' 38-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. Brown had a season-low three tackles in the contest versus the Falcons, who rushed for 154 yards and rolled up 491 total yards in the rout.

"Own coaches hating and blaming me for Atl loss smh naw B check the film b4 blaming someone eye in the sky don't lie," Brown wrote.

Brown closed the discussion by stating "just facts" before deleting the thread entirely.

The 6-foot-1, 250-pound Brown resided second on the team with 50 tackles this season before he entered a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The NFC East-leading Redskins (6-3) defeated the Buccaneers.

Brown had 127 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 13 games in his first season with Washington in 2017.
