Watch: Mike Evans was lucky not to get thrown out of this game

Mike Evans should have been ejected from the game against the New Orleans Saints for his blindside, after-the-play hit on Marcus Lattimore. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver was reacting to Lattimore lightly shoving Jameis Winston, who came off the sideline to argue with Lattimore and shoved him in the helmet.

That’s all pretty mild if completely unnecessary, and Evans coming in to defend his quarterback would at least be a little defensible. But the way he did it went much too far, and made an embarrassing day even worse for the Bucs.
