Lattimore and Evans have a history. As division rivals, these two have gone head to head on multiple occasions, and were even in a previous incident similar to this one. The first time, Evans felt he was defending his sideline. When a Buccaneer pushed Lattimore in the back, the defensive back responded by shoving said player. This prompted Evans to get involved, resulting in a full-on brawl. On this occasion, it was more so about history. These two players quite clearly don’t like each other.
