Evans shoved Saints player Marshon Lattimore to the ground causing a fight between both teams. Brady, on his Let’s Go podcast, made it well known how he feels about Evans being the only player suspended from the fight.

“I don’t think it deserved any type of suspension,” Brady said. I think that’s ridiculous. You know hopefully we can move past it, get to a better place.”

Brady made it clear he has support for his wide receiver and Evans’ actions would not go unnoticed.

“I love Mike and the fact that Mike would come out there to defend me, it means everything in the world to me as a teammate and a friend,” Brady added. And Mike knows how I feel about him.”

Sunday’s win was Brady’s first win in New Orleans since he left the New England Patriots to join the Buccaneers.

“It was an emotional game against a team we have a tough time with,” Brady added.
