Shilo Sanders swung a punch at Zach Davidson's face, resulting in a flagrant foul before being ejected from the game by officials. In the post-game press conference, Bucs coach Todd Bowles talked about the incident.

He called the situation "inexcusable" and stated that Shilo needs to develop and grow from this incident.

"You can't throw punches in this league. That's inexcusable. They're going to get you every time. You've got to grow from that," Bowles said as per a tweet by FOX Sports' Greg Auman.
