The Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved on to the Detroit Lions right after winning their game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the league had one last thing to say about the game ahead of Tampa Bay’s Divisional Round showdown.
NFL reporter Tom Pelissero reported Sunday that Bucs linebacker K.J. Britt was fined $5,592 dollars for unnecessary roughness against quarterback Jalen Hurts during last week’s Wild Card game. Toward the end of the play where the Eagles attempted their patented “tush push”, Britt grabbed the facemask of Hurts and pulled him down. He was not penalized on field for the incident.
The play saw the Bucs stop the tush push for the second time this season. Tampa Bay was also able to put a stop to it in Week 3, when it stopped a fourth down conversion.
