A Lambeau Field security guard was not pleased with Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans during Tampa Bay's Week 15 game against the Packers. Evans, who found the end zone in the second quarter after hauling in a 19—yard reception from Baker Mayfield, wanted to celebrate his touchdown with a Buccaneers fan.
And not just any Buccaneers fan.
Evans found a Tampa Bay fan dressed as an actual buccaneer, who was presumably seated near the end zone and had approached closer to the field as the Buccaneers wideout scored a touchdown.
Evans gave the ball to the fan, to the chagrin of the Lambeau Field security guard. Here's video of the moment, courtesy of NFL on CBS's account on X, formerly known as Twitter.

It's not clear exactly what was bothering the security guard, but it's likely that he was peeved at just how close the Buccaneers fan dressed in pirate garb was to invading the field at Lambeau. He was likely also annoyed at Evans for encouraging the Tampa Bay fan.
Here's hoping the Buccaneers fan gets to keep Evans's touchdown ball, as it's liable to be a moment he never forgets—for multiple reasons.
