The Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked on point in Sunday’s 31-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles but fans noticed head coach Bruce Arians losing his cool with safety Andrew Adams on the sideline early in the third quarter.
After the Bucs recovered Jalen Reagor’s fumbled punt return, Arians stormed onto the field and appeared to swing at Adams helmet before shoving him off.

The injury-plagued Bucs didn’t miss a step with Tom Brady leading the pack.
Brady was 29-of-37 for 271 yards and two touchdowns and gave Tampa a solid 17-0 lead heading into halftime. Sunday’s victory marked Brady’s 35th playoff win and his fifth straight since joining Tampa in 2020.
