Before a brawl broke out between the Saints and Buccaneers on Sept. 18, cameras caught former Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians on the sidelines screaming at Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore. Right after that, Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans punched Lattimore, causing the brawl.
In an interview with The Athletic’s Dan Pompei, Arians explained what happened from his point of view and what he said to the New Orleans defensive back.
“It was a bad call and I was chewing out the referee like I was chewing him out the first three quarters,” Arians said.
