Mike Evans suspended for unnecessary roughness


Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was suspended one game without pay Monday for violating the NFL's rules on unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Evans and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore were ejected after a fight broke out among players. Lattimore exchanged words with Bucs quarterback Tom Bradyfollowing a third-down play and then Evans pushed the defensive back, starting the fracas.

The NFL won't suspend Lattimore, though he'll likely be fined
