In spite of the comfortable victory experienced by the Buccaneers over the Eagles in the wild card round, the Tampa Bay team did not come out of the match clean as Bruce Arians will have to open the wallet for his reckless behavior during the duel.
According to information from Ian Rapoport, of NFL Network, The NFL has fined the coach $50,000. of the Bucs after hitting safety Andrew Adams.
The incident that produced the penalty on Arians occurred in the third quarter of the game. Product of a loose ball by Jalen Reagor after a punt and the consequent fight for possession, the HC hit the helmet of Adams, who plays for Tampa, to avoid possible punishment against the Bucs.
Previously, Arians he noted that he had no regrets about entering the field to curb a possible reckless action by Adams. After the announcement of the punishment, he added that he will fight the decision. “I will appeal. It had nothing to do with the game, we are fine,” he said, according to The Athletic.
Antonio Brown reacts
After Arians hit Adams, Antonio Brown tweeted a video of the incident with the message “Pit not the palace” in reference to the theme song he released in early January.
It should be remembered that after being released by the Buccaneers, Brown accused the coaching staff and particularly Arians to force him to play against the Jets in week 17, even though the WR had an ankle problem.
