The Buccaneers play, arguably, their most important game of the season on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. However, one player's wife is causing a distraction just days before kickoff.
Wide Receiver Chris Godwin went without a catch in last Sunday's win against the Carolina Panthers. It was the first time he didn't record a reception in a game since 2018.
"We were subbing him out a lot. Obviously, he’s a little nicked up, so he’s not totally 100%. Nobody is, but he is probably banged up more than most," head coach Todd Bowles said Monday.
Godwin's wife, Mariah, took exception to this comment. She took to Instagram on Wednesday to call out Bowles and voice her frustration.
"I don't know why things are the way they are. This isn't my team to coach, but this is lying on Chris, and implying negativity on his work ethic is infuriating," she said in part of her post.
