Tampa Bay Buccaneers defender Vita Vea chipped a tooth after taking a nasty helmet to the face against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Vea’s helmet slipped up during the first half of the game as he charged towards the Colts’ line. Tasked with stopping Vea, Colts offensive lineman Mark Glowinski crashed with his exposed face, sending a chipped tooth flying through the air in the middle of the play.
Vea was smiling as she walked off the pitch, despite the hard shot to the face. His smile was well-deserved, as the Buccaneers fought back from a 10-point down to defeat the Colts, outscoring them 24-7 in the second half.
Vea proudly displayed his newly chipped tooth to team photographers after the game.
Twitter goes bonkers as Vita Vea’s tooth jumps in the air
Meanwhile, fans came up with hilarious comments on Twitter after Vita Vea’s video went viral.

@metsfan2044 commented, “Tell me you haven’t watched hockey without telling me you haven’t watched hockey.”
@goatwiddie seemed surprised as he asked, “how can he be so calm?”
@JJ33_Lockdown sarcastically remarked, “Adrenaline probably not gonna feel it until 15 mins.”
Bucs coach just doesn’t care
Bruce Arians, the head coach of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has no sympathy for his defender’s tooth problems. “I don’t care,” Arians said. “He’s got 30 other ones.”
Regardless, Vita Vea departed Indianapolis with one fewer tooth than when he arrived, but the Buccaneers took home another victory. Vea would gladly make the exchange again, judging by his smile.
