Several Bucs players confronted Chris Baker for blowing the game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Carolina Panthers, and that led to some eh....heated moments. Jameis Winston flew off the handle against the referees for awarding a fumble to Julius Peppers, for which he later apologized.

That incident was widely published. One incident wasn’t, though: players apparently went after Chris Baker for blowing the game, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Baker jumped offside on fourth-and-short at the end of the game, turning a tough conversion into a very easy one for the Panthers and essentially gifting them a touchdown—the touchdown that would lose the Bucs the game.
