A fight in Buccaneers-Saints turned into late-game ejections for Mike Evans, Marshon Lattimore

Mike Evans Marshon Lattimore Buccaneers Saints New Orleans

In the midst of a stifling performance by the Saints’ defense, the Buccaneers (-2.5) and Tom Brady were understandably pretty frustrated for most of the afternoon in New Orleans on Sunday. With Tampa Bay sitting at just three points late during this pivotal divisional matchup, frustrations seemed to come to a head for Mike Evans.

Early on in the fourth quarter, Evans appeared to take exception with some aspect of Lattimore’s coverage/general play on him. In what certainly appears to be a continuation of the receiver and cornerback’s personal rivalry, Evans absolutely laid Lattimore out after the play. And, predictably, all chaos soon broke loose on the Superdome field:

Man, Evans and Lattimore really don’t like each other, huh? (Note: Evans had just three catches for 61 yards at the time of his ejection.)

Both Evans and Lattimore were given offsetting penalties for this skirmish. Though, those penalties were ejections as the stars had to leave at a very important and clutch moment in the game.

NFL fans had lots of thoughts and jokes about Evans and Lattimore fighting in Buccaneers-Saints
