According to Jeff Darlington of ESPN, tensions boiled over a play in which Buccaneers QB Tom Brady’s lobbied for a pass interference call. Former LSU RB Leonard Fournette was also involved.
The Bucs wanted a pass interference call. Brady was asking for it. Lattimore chirped at Brady. Brady got in his face. Lattimore hit Fournette. Evans ran after Lattimore and knocked him over. And then full pile up. Ejections likely coming. https://t.co/GfH9SLtAB7
