Saved a penalty.

Bucco Bruce Arians has seen a lot of football in his years. He’s seen good and he’s seen bad. [read more]

The early review on right tackle Tristan Wirfs’ bad ankle is in. [read more]

Update.

In his day-after presser, Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians said injured right tackle Tristan Wirfs has a chance to play Sunday in the divisional round game.

Joe does not want to think about the Bucs playing the Rams without 2/3 of its three Pro Bowl offensive linemen. Having Aaron Donald and Von Miller go against a rookie and a less than average backup is a total recipe for disaster.

Arians said if neither Wirfs nor backup Josh Wells can go, then Alex Cappa would play right tackle and Aaron Stinnie would play right guard.

And that could maim Tom Brady.

High standards.
