Something happened away from the field Monday when the Saints visited the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.<br /><br />A video posted after the Saints beat the Panthers, 20-17, on “Monday Night Football” shows Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas getting into some sort of argument with Panthers defensive lineman Derrick Brown.<br /><br />It starts with Thomas walking down the tunnel and turning around to yell back at Brown.<br /><br />Making the turn at the end of the ramp, which appears to be near the Saints locker room, Thomas, 30, and Brown, 25, come face-to-face, at which point Brown needs to be held back from a physical confrontation with Thomas.<br /><br />The video ends with Brown being escorted away from Thomas, presumably to the Panthers locker room.<br /><br />Perhaps Brown was just mad that his team fell to 0-2 while the Saints improved to 2-0.<br /><br />Thomas was a big reason why, hauling in seven of nine targets for 55 yards.<br /><br />He now has 12 catches this season for 116 yards.<br /><br />Brown was busy during the game as well, recording seven tackles and helping the Panthers’ pass rush get home for four sacks on Saints quarterback Derek Carr.<br /><br />On Tuesday afternoon, Thomas posted on X: “They tried to set me up,” and “They were playing good snoop dog after I was just trying to do my dance,” each containing three laughing emojis.<br /><br />It’s unclear if the incident was what Thomas was ultimately referring to.
