Buccaneers' Mike Evans ejected vs. Panthers for arguing with officials
It wasn't a great final week for Mike Evans.
During a 38-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon, the talented but inconsistent Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver lost his composure at two different officials, and was ejected in the fourth quarter for acting disrespectfully.
Evans' mini brouhaha with the referees wasn't the first time on the day he lost his cool. At halftime, the sophomore added himself to a growing list of wideouts who have beef with Panthers corner Josh Norman, as the two loudly jawed at each other before nearly coming to blows.

Of course, the Panthers' Twitter page had a bit of fun with Evans' ejection.
Evans, who had 99 yards on four catches, admitted fault after the game, but doesn't think he should have been ejected for his actions.
