Shocking moment Buccaneers and Saints players brawl and punches are thrown after late hit on Baker Mayfield The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints came to blows during their all-important Week 18 showdown after a late hit on Baker Mayfield.
Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield instigated the mass confrontation after taking a late hit.
Mayfield did not like that fact that he was hit late, leading to him standing up and getting in Harris' face, knocking the Saints' star to the turf.
As Mayfield walked away from the situation, he was approached by several Saints players, which only drew the ire of the Buccaneers offense, who stepped in front of their signal caller.
Mayfield himself ratcheted up the temperature of the game, not liking the extra contact and instigated the brawl with his retaliation on defensive back Will Harris.
