<p>Seven-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady made his thoughts crystal clear when he blasted the NFL for suspending his teammate, wide receiver Mike Evans, for one game following a fight during Sunday&#8217;s game against the New Orleans Saints.</p>
<p>During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-brady">45-year-old</a> quarterback&#8217;s &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go&#8221; <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tom-brady-the-bucs-are-2-0/id1584409759?i=1000579990510">podcast</a> Monday, Brady slammed the league for the punishment. Evans got into a scuffle with Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, and both were <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/09/18/mike-evans-marshon-lattimore-ejected-after-brawl-in-saints-vs-buccaneers-game">ejected</a>. Brady claimed all Evans did was have his teammate&#8217;s back.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it deserved any type of suspension,&#8221; the Buccaneers star explained. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s ridiculous.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, in the end, I appreciate Mike having my back,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I know he&#8217;ll learn from it. And he knows that we all have his back.&#8221;</p>
<p>WATCH:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mike Evans and Marshon Lattimore have gone at it three sperate times over the years. </p>
<p>Evans was suspended one game for what happened in 2017 — so another suspension would not be a surprise. </p>
<p>Here&#39;s a video of all three fights.<a href="https://t.co/dRiCVN5WhE">pic.twitter.com/dRiCVN5WhE</a></p>

<p>The Bucs QB also took some of the blame as he shared that it wouldn&#8217;t have been an issue if he hadn&#8217;t &#8220;run down&#8221; the field to challenge the call. However, he also said Evans shouldn&#8217;t have been &#8220;blamed and singled out&#8221; for a fight that involved multiple players. Tampa Bay went on to beat New Orleans 20-10.</p>
<p>On Monday, the league announced that Evans was out for one game for violating &#8220;unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules,&#8221; <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/09/20/tom-brady-blasts-nfl-over-mike-evans-suspension-ridiculous/?adid=social-twa">TMZ</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;After a play had ended, you were walking toward your sidelines,&#8221; a letter to Evans from NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34624244/nfl-suspends-tampa-bay-buccaneers-receiver-mike-evans-one-game-altercation-new-orleans-saints-marshon-lattimore">read</a>. &#8220;When you noticed your teammates engaged in a confrontation with Saints&#8217; players, you ran toward that area on the field and violently threw your body into and struck an unsuspecting opponent who was part of that confrontation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You knocked your opponent to the ground and a melee ensued involving players from both teams,&#8221; it added. &#8220;Your aggressive conduct could have caused serious injury to your opponent and clearly does not reflect the high standards of sportsmanship expected of a professional.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the broadcasters noted during the game, this isn&#8217;t the first brawl between Evans and the Saints&#8217; cornerback. The two have gone to blows other times over the years.</p>
<p>In 2017, Evans was suspended one game after coming at the Saints&#8217; player from behind, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34624244/nfl-suspends-tampa-bay-buccaneers-receiver-mike-evans-one-game-altercation-new-orleans-saints-marshon-lattimore">ESPN</a> noted. In 2020, the two NFL players went at it again, this time with Lattimore shoving Evans first, and was fined $10,500 for unnecessary roughness.</p>
