Jan. 19 (UPI) -- The NFL on Wednesday fined Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians $50,000 for striking Bucs safety Andrew Adams in the helmet during Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Arians said he was attempting to move Adams, who was trying to pull a player out of a pile after Jalen Reagor's muffed punt, which could have drawn a penalty flag. Arians can be seen slapping Adams' helmet with an open hand and then elbowing him.
