What started out as a competitive game was soon turned into a dominant performance and a win by the Buccaneers. However, despite an impressive performance, the major talking point of the game between the two sides was the all-out brawl involving the likes of Leonard Fournette, Mike Evans, and Marshon Lattimore among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Marshawn Lattimore lips off to Tom Brady.

Mike Evans was handed a one-game suspension which he will be serving this weekend against the Green Bay Packers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The incident occurred after the Saints&#8217; defense picked up a third down stop in the early stages of the fourth quarter. Lattimore and Fournette were involved in a shoving match. Things escalated when Mike Evans came out of nowhere and shoved the Saints cornerback to the ground. This started an all-out brawl between the two teams, with everyone jumping in and getting physical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To my fantasy owners I\u2019m sorry Touchdowns coming soon!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; 7\u20e3 Leonard Fournette (@_fournette) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_fournette\/status\/1571886418284220416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The staff and coaches from both teams played an important role in diffusing the tension, and both Mike Evans and Marcus Lattimore were immediately ejected from the game.

Against the Packers, Brady will rely heavily on Fournette and his pass rushing to secure a win given Packers are particularly weak at defending against the rush. It will be interesting to see how Brady navigates the game against the Packers with a severely injured squad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/tampa-bay-buccaneers-injury-report-who-are-the-players-set-to-miss-the-game-against-the-green-bay-packers\/\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers Injury Report: Who Are the Players Set to Miss the Game Against the Green Bay Packers?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/star-tackle-taylor-lewan-out-for-the-season-possible-that-he-doesnt-return-to-tennessee-titans-ever-end-of-an-era\/\">Star Tackle Taylor Lewan Out For the Season, Possible That He Doesn\u2019t Return to Tennessee Titans Ever \u2013 END OF AN ERA?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced the New Orleans Saints in game week two of the NFL season.
