Shilo Sanders was ejected from his final NFL preseason game of his rookie season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Todd Bowles called his behavior “inexcusable.”
However, the second-eldest son of Deion Sanders only threw a punch in retaliation.
Zach Davidson was the instigator. NFL officials chose not to call a penalty on the Buffalo Bills tight end.
The unfortunate incident took place during the first half. Sanders was lined up at safety on a run play.
Davidson, a fifth-year player on his second team, got down field to block the safety. The Bills ball-carrier was wrapped all-but up in the backfield by the time he got to the third level.
He actually missed his assignment at first.
The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end circled back to get his hands on the 6-foot-0, 196-pound rookie. Davidson put his hands on Sanders and locked him up.
In doing so, he latched on to the facemask of his opponent.
Sanders did not appreciate the way Davidson grabbed him so he swung. The official was standing right there to call a penalty, which led to an ejection for fighting.
