Jameis Winston push leads to brief skirmish on Bucs sideline

NEW ORLEANS - A lopsided game turned ugly when a brief skirmish broke out between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tampa's sideline Sunday in the third quarter.

Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans was flagged 15 yards for running across the field and drilling Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore in the back, then pouncing on Lattimore when he hit the ground. A Saints player then tackled Evans to get him off Lattimore.

The skirmish started when Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston - who was not playing at the time - pushed Lattimore in the back of his helmet while appearing to suggest that he go back to his own sideline.
