And, you know, it’s part of the sport, I think. Mike obviously doesn’t want to get kicked out of the game. I’m sure Marshon doesn’t want to get kicked out of the game,” Brady answered.

During a Tampa Bay offensive play, the Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore clashed with the Bucs WR Mike Evans. This happened when Lattimore traded some barbs with Brady. Evans came forward to defend his teammate and pushed Lattimore away.
