The NFL fined Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians $50,000 on Wednesday for hitting his own player on the helmet during Tampa’s 31-15 victory over the Eagles.
Arians swatted Tampa Bay safety Andrew Adams following a Philadelphia muffed punt as the coach attempted to prevent an personal-foul penalty. But Arians's actions went too far, per NFL standards. The league reportedly told Arians in a letter that he displayed “conduct directed towards one of your players that fell below standards expected of an NFL head coach,” per ESPN's Jenna Laine.
