The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their title retention drive on a winning note after beating the Dallas Cowboys in nail-biting fashion on Thursday, 31-29.

Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians had to pull out all the tricks in the dying minutes to escape the gritty Cowboys, who were led by a sensational Dak Prescott. Tom Brady was once again masterful for the defending champions, along with Leonard Fournette, Antonio Brown, and Ryan Succop, who made the game-winning field goal.

Brown, however, got absolutely roasted by Arians after the game. Not for his performance on the field but for his choice of outfit (via Buccaneers reporter Carmen Vitali).

The 33-year-old Brown, who has always been a colorful character, came into the postgame press conference wearing what could only be described as Willy Wonka chic. The star wide receiver also had two huge ice packs on his knees, making New York Knicks legend Patrick Ewing nod in approval.

The amiable Arians has a snarky sense of humor and he surely had a good guffaw out of Brown's enigmatic ensemble. It's easy for the Buccaneers to laugh on Thursday after they squeezed out the hard-earned victory against the Cowboys, who had one heck of a game from Prescott. He went toe-to-toe with Brady in what could easily be the best game of Week 1 of the new NFL season.

Brown finished with five receptions, 121 yards, one touchdown, and one crazy outfit for the Buccaneers. He has extra time to ice his knees as they have few days of rest before facing the Los Angeles Chargers on September 19.
