Mike Evans-Marshon Lattimore fight: Best memes and tweets
By Mark Powell
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans and New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore got into a fight during Sunday’s game.
Lattimore and Evans have a history. As division rivals, these two have gone head to head on multiple occasions, and were even in a previous incident similar to this one.
The first time, Evans felt he was defending his sideline. When a Buccaneer pushed Lattimore in the back, the defensive back responded by shoving said player. This prompted Evans to get involved, resulting in a full-on brawl.

On this occasion, it was more so about history. These two players quite clearly don’t like each other.

Marshon Lattimore fights Mike Evans: Best memes and tweets
As always, social media had a field day with the incident.
FanSided’s Josh Hill explained the history between these two sides in detail:
"“Evans and Lattimore have had beef going all the way back to the start of their careers in the NFL and it seems cooler heads have not prevailed over time. If there was a prop bet for whether or not Evans and Lattimore would fight whenever the Bucs and Saints meet it would be the easiest money anyone ever made gambling on football.”"
As frustrating at that may be for fans of both teams — especially when you consider how talented the players are — it speaks to their competitive nature.

Mike Evans shoving Marshon Lattimore. Seems to be an annual thing at this point.

Wow, a repeat of 2017, Bucs WR Mike Evans came flying off the bench to shove Saints CB Marshon Lattimore after Lattimore was jawing with Brady and Fournette/Lattimore shoved each other.

Regarding the Marshon Lattimore-Mike Evans ejections. A fierce rivalry. NFL NEXT GEN STATS: Mike Evans has caught only 48% of his targets when Marshon Lattimore has been the nearest defender in their careers. Evans averaged 1.7 yards of separation on those targets.

There was more where that came from.
It’s going to be a long week for one of these teams.
Next. Watch Tom Brady lose his cool and smash tablet on sideline during Saints game (Video). dark
