During a heated division rivalry, Tom Brady threw an imcomplete pass to Bucs WR Scotty Miller. Brady was looking for a penalty when Saints CB Marcus Lattimore exchanged words with the QB which fired up Buccaneers player such as RB leonard Fournette and WR Mike Evans.
Evans is notable for being an emotional player and decided to take matters into his own hands by starting a physical atlercation with Lattimore. This led to a bench clearing from both teams, and Evans and Lattimore were subsequently ejected from the game.
Evans and Lattimore had similar exchanges in 2017 and 2020. It seems has though the league is deciding to crack down on this behavior with Evans' suspension.
Update 9/19/22 1:08PM EST: Evans plans to appeal his suspension
