Sunday’s game meant a lot to the Panthers, but they lost the contest due to a brutal fumble by running back Chuba Hubbard.
The Bucs would go on to kick a game-winning field goal.
After it was all said and done, more than one player apparently wanted to settle the score in the tunnel heading to the Bank of America Stadium locker rooms.
Carolina Panthers safety Sam Franklin Jr. was caught in the back being held back and escorted away from where the Bucs were heading into the bowels of the stadium.
