Dirk Koetter injured after head-butt from Chris Conte on pick-6 celebration

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Chris Conte got a little too excited celebrating his first quarter pick-six against the Chicago Bears, racing to the sideline for a hug from head coach Dirk Koetter and accidentally gashed Koetter's head.

Koetter had a bandage over his right eye during his postgame press conference.

“Man, Chris Conte acts like he’s never scored a touchdown before," Koetter said, laughing. "When you come off after you score a touchdown, it’s OK to head bump guys who have helmets on. But when the coach is trying to give you a hug, he head-butted me right in the head, about broke my glasses, my hat was off.
