Tom Brady loved the fact that Mike Evans came out and protected him.
During Sunday’s Saints-Bucs game, Brady got into a heated altercation with Saints DB Marshon Lattimore. Evans saw Lattimore chirping at his QB and immediately ran to the field to shove Lattimore to the ground.

As for Evans he has been suspended for one game due to shoving Lattimore.

Evans was suspended one game for a previous fracas with Lattimore in 2017.
