Rashaan Evans was ejected from Monday night’s Tennessee Titans- Denver Broncos game for his actions late in the first quarter.

Evans was being blocked by Broncos tight end Jake Butt downfield on an inside handoff on a 2nd-and-16. The Titans linebacker objected to Butt still handling him by the jersey at the end of the play and threw a slap/punch at him.

Evans was flagged for a personal foul and ejected from the game for his actions. Evans had a tackle in the game prior to being disqualified.

A few plays later, Drew Lock threw a touchdown pass to Noah Fant to give the Broncos a 7-0 lead.
