There’s no love lost between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints. The Bucs haven’t defeated the Saints since Tom Brady joined the team, and there’s always been beef between Bucs star receiver Mike Evans and Saints standout corner Marshon Lattimore. As the divisional rivals played another close, tense game in Week 2 on Sunday, Evans and Lattimore got into it once again.

At the start of the fourth quarter in a game that was tied 3-3, the fight broke out that led to Lattimore and Evans each getting disqualified. After Brady fired an incomplete pass deep to Scott Miller, the veteran star was looking for a flag from the refs. Lattimore said something to Brady, and Mike Evans rushed in to defend his QB. And to Evans “defending your QB” means blasting the trash-talking defensive back while he’s not looking.
Evans has been suspended one game by the NFL.
Watch the sequence here.
Lattimore has had Evans’ number at times in the past. It seems like there’s always a fight whenever these two face each other, and now we have another chapter in their personal rivalry.
The great Rodger Sherman did a Twitter thread of Lattimore and Evans’ history of getting into fights. NFL fans can appreciate a good, old fashioned personal rivalry.
We’ll update this story as it develops.
