However F-bombs, they used to type of preserve from displaying you in these moments however now it’s type of for the world to see. In order that’s simply the way in which it’s.”
The day did get a bit of bit higher following his sideline outburst. The Buccaneers kicked a last-second area objective as time expired to drop the deficit to 1 level and scored 9 extra factors within the second half.
Sadly, their protection surrendered 10 extra factors within the second half, which was simply sufficient for the Steelers to squeak by.
