The game had been extremely frustrating for the Buccaneers and Brady. The superstar quarterback was seen yelling at his sideline and tossing his tablet earlier in the game.
Evans and the Saints have a big rivalry. The wide receiver, who’s recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first eight seasons, has struggled against New Orleans. He only has five touchdowns in 15 games in his career against the Saints.
Evans was suspended for a game in 2017 after an incident with Lattimore. The wide receiver stepped between an altercation between Lattimore and then-Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston.
