The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 31-15 Sunday, and it wasn’t even that close. During the game the Eagles muffed a punt and Buccaneers special teams Scotty Miller recovered it. In the pile of players fighting for the ball Buccaneers defensive back Andrew Adams was pulling an Eagles player off the pile. Enter head coach Bruce Arians with what appears as a left hook followed by an elbow.

I asked Bruce Arians why he briefly swiped his hand at Andrew Adams’ helmet after the Eagles’ muffed punt. Adams was trying to pull Eagles players off the pile, which could be a penalty. “Yeah, that was it,” Arians said.

Now to Arians defense he was trying to keep Adams from being called for a penalty. But of course the internet is going to, well internet.

Some may call it crossing the line, some will say it very Urban Meyer-esq, some will see no problem with it. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
