TAMPA -- Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Brian Burns was ejected from Sunday's game late in the third quarter after landing a punch to the side of Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard Cody Mauch's helmet.
Burns got into a shouting match with Mauch while both teams were waiting for officials to review whether wide receiver Mike Evans scored on a 75-yard pass.
After it was ruled a touchdown to give the Bucs a 14-10 lead, the exchange got heated and ended with Burns taking a right-handed swing at Mauch. Burns then took his helmet off and went to the sideline as officials ruled him out for the rest of the game.
