VIDEO: Bucs Head Coach Bruce Arians Has NSFW Reaction to Refs Blowing Fumble Call Against Texans
By Chris Pyo
Bruce Arians' blood pressure has never been this high in the 2019 NFL season, and that's really saying a lot. His Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing off against the Houston Texans on this glorious Saturday, and the Bucs have already been screwed over by the refs on TWO separate occasions. But Arians truly lose it when he couldn't challenge a fumble due to the refs blowing the play dead due to forward progress. His reaction? Not so nice.
"get the f--- outta here"

Hmmmm. That's a massive momentum changer that could've shifted the dynamic of the entire game, considering Jameis Winston has already thrown three picks in the first half, including a pick-six on his very first pass attempt of the game.
But now? The game is tied 17-17 at the half and Arians has new life.
