And he knows that we all have his back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mike Evans and Marshon Lattimore have gone at it three sperate times over the years. <\/p>\n<p>Evans was suspended one game for what happened in 2017 \u2014 so another suspension would not be a surprise. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video of all three fights.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dRiCVN5WhE\">pic.twitter.com\/dRiCVN5WhE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1571868257056948228?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Bucs QB also took some of the blame as he shared that it wouldn\u2019t have been an issue if he hadn\u2019t \u201crun down\u201d the field to challenge the call. However, he also said Evans shouldn\u2019t have been \u201cblamed and singled out\u201d for a fight that involved multiple players. Tampa Bay went on to beat New Orleans 20-10.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the league announced that Evans was out for one game for violating \u201cunnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2022\/09\/20\/tom-brady-blasts-nfl-over-mike-evans-suspension-ridiculous\/?adid=social-twa\">TMZ<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a play had ended, you were walking toward your sidelines,\u201d a letter to Evans from NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/34624244\/nfl-suspends-tampa-bay-buccaneers-receiver-mike-evans-one-game-altercation-new-orleans-saints-marshon-lattimore\">read<\/a>. \u201cWhen you noticed your teammates engaged in a confrontation with Saints\u2019 players, you ran toward that area on the field and violently threw your body into and struck an unsuspecting opponent who was part of that confrontation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou knocked your opponent to the ground and a melee ensued involving players from both teams,\u201d it added. \u201cYour aggressive conduct could have caused serious injury to your opponent and clearly does not reflect the high standards of sportsmanship expected of a professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the broadcasters noted during the game, this isn\u2019t the first brawl between Evans and the Saints\u2019 cornerback. The two have gone to blows other times over the years.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Evans was suspended one game after coming at the Saints\u2019 player from behind,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/34624244\/nfl-suspends-tampa-bay-buccaneers-receiver-mike-evans-one-game-altercation-new-orleans-saints-marshon-lattimore\">ESPN<\/a> noted.
