The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were seemingly mounting an incredible comeback against the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, as Tom Brady and company had all the momentum late in the game. However, the Rams somewhat easily made their way down the field, picking up a huge chunk of yardage on two plays to wide receiver Cooper Kupp, which eventually led to their victory.
One prominent Buccaneers defender, LaVonte David, has already voiced his displeasure with the way they played the final drive against the Rams. Now, another key Tampa Bay defender seemingly criticized head coach Bruce Arians in a since-deleted tweet.
Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead said he “should have been in during crunch time” in what seems like a dig at Arians or perhaps defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.
Either way, Whitehead is clearly not satisfied with the ending of the Buccaneers' game against the Rams. It's certainly up for debate if his presence on the field would have made that much of a difference against an All-Pro like Kupp, though the talented safety's hard-hitting presence may have at least made the Rams' quest down the field a little more treacherous.
The Buccaneers seem to have a very close-knit locker room, so comments like this made by Jordan Whitehead likely won't be problematic. However, the deleted tweet certainly does raise even more questions about that final drive against the Rams.
