On a running play by Buffalo, tight end Zach Davidson blocked Sanders downfield past the whistle, well away from where the play ended. Davidson swiped high, getting a hand on Sanders' facemask and touching him around the helmet multiple times.

Shilo Sanders couldn't afford a mishap. And then he made about as big a mistake as he could've made during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' preseason finale on Saturday night against the Buffalo Bills. Tangled up with Bills tight end Zach Davidson after a play, Sanders threw a right-handed punch. It earned him an automatic ejection.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Sanders and his representatives "hope he gets claimed on waivers." The news came less than 24 hours after Sanders was ejected from his final preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Officials flagged him for unnecessary roughness after he threw a punch in an altercation with tight end Zach Davidson.
