Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians fined $50K for striking safety Andrew Adams

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians has been fined $50,000 by the NFL for swiping his hand at safety Andrew Adams' helmet during the wild-card game against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Arians was attempting to move Adams, who was trying to pull a player out of a pile after a muffed punt by Jalen Reagor, which would have drawn a penalty. He can be seen slapping Adams' helmet hard with an open hand and then elbowing him.

Adams wasn't penalized on the play.

"I'll appeal it," Arians said Wednesday.
