The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints got into a melee on Sunday during the second half of their game at the Superdome.
A couple of the participants, the Bucs’ Mike Evans and the Saints’ Marshon Lattimore wound up ejected.
This was nothing new for the elite players who have history with disliking each other.

Lattimore and Evans have carried on a personal rivalry since 2017, when Lattimore was the defensive rookie of the year. During a Saints victory in New Orleans that season, an altercation began along the Tampa Bay sideline when then-Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston pointed in Lattimore’s face and told him to go back to his own bench area. That’s when Evans blindsided Lattimore with a running start, knocking Lattimore hard to the turf. Only Evans was ejected that time. He also was suspended a subsequent game.

Evans had some regrets after one incident in 2017.
