Marshon Lattimore and Mike Evans get in a shoving match during Bucs-Saints game.
It wouldn’t be a juicy football game without a little bit of beef boiling over, now would it?
On Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneer‘s and the New Orleans Saints we saw one of the first on-field squabbles of the season. It occurred in the second quarter between Buccaneer’s wide receiver Mike Evans and Saints cornerback, Marshon Lattimore.
It started with the normal type of football shoving but escalated when Evans grabbed around the shoulder and neck of Lattimore before turning and walking away. Lattimore then pushed Evans in the back, causing him to stumble before whipping around and smacking the helmet right off Lattimore’s head. The rest of the teams came in to break it up and the referees called a 15-yard penalty on Lattimore, nothing for Evans.
This isn’t the first time Marshon Lattimore has been in an altercation
In 2017 Lattimore shoved none other than Evans off the field. So needless to say, there’s probably some bad blood still lingering between the two.
At press time the Saints were leading the Buccaneer’s 14-7 with just about a minute until half-time.
