Buccaneers' Bruce Arians Vents on Officiating: Referees Aren't Held Accountable

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians called for a higher level of accountability for NFL referees after his team was the victim of an officiating mistake in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans attempted a fake field goal in the fourth quarter. Devin White tackled the holder, Brett Kern, and forced a fumble, which Andrew Adams was poised to recover and return for a go-ahead touchdown. However, the referees blew the whistle on the tackle, thus ruling the play dead.

The @Buccaneers were all over that fake field goal.
