Bruce Arians Hit With Punishment For Slapping His Own Player
Arians will have to fork over a chunk of change
Bruce Arians will have to pay for his actions from Sunday.
The Buccaneers head coach was seen striking safety Andrew Adams in the helmet after a little tussle between Tampa Bay and the Philadelphia Eagles during their wild-card game. As a result, Arians has been fined $50,000, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday afternoon, citing a league source.
Arians told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times he was trying to avoid Adams taking a penalty during the dustup because the safety was pulling Eagles players off the pile.
The 69-year-old said he had no regrets about how he handled the situation, but maybe he will now considering it came with a hefty fine.
