Players on the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were ejected midgame Sunday after a fight broke out on the field.
Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore were both pulled from the game after taking part in the brawl, which occurred during the fourth quarter.
The incident began when Lattimore was seen having a heated exchange with Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bruce Arians, who was standing on the sideline. Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette then pushed Lattimore, which led to shoving between the two. Evans was then seen inserting himself into the altercation and punching the Saints cornerback.
Brady, who was engaged in the fight verbally, did not engage physically.
