Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas and Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown were involved in a heated postgame altercation in the tunnel at Bank of America Stadium on Monday night.
After New Orleans picked up a win on the road, a video was shared on social media in which Thomas could be seen celebrating in the tunnel on his way to the locker room. He appeared to be saying something while looking backward in the direction Brown eventually came from, as he was entering the tunnel behind him.
The pair exchanged verbal barbs before Brown could be seen charging at Thomas. A member of Carolina’s staff was able to restrain Brown, and after a few tense moments, the defensive tackle began to walk away.
