Buccaneers punt returner Clifton Smith, who was in position to field the punt but hadn't signaled for a fair catch, was leveled on the second-quarter play. Smith remained on the ground for a few minutes before being helped to his feet; the Bucs said at halftime that he suffered a concussion from the blow. Wesley was ejected for the late hit as players from both teams stormed off the sidelines.

After the game, Wesley made it known he wasn't trying to hurt Smith, saying "I was just trying to make a play." The eight-year veteran also stated he hopes he doesn't draw a fine from the league.
