Jalen Ramsey, Golden Tate scuffle after Rams fight off Giants
Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Giants wide receiver Golden Tate competed aggressively on the field Sunday during the Rams’ 17-9 victory at SoFi Stadium.
Immediately afterward, they scuffled near midfield, forcing teammates, coaches and team personnel to pull them apart on the turf.
Ramsey and Tate were not made available to reporters on videoconferences after the game.
Rams coach Sean McVay and several Rams players said they either did not see the incident or did not know what it was about.
“I’m not really sure. I was shaking hands, and I just kind of got in the middle,” McVay said. “Fortunately, got it broken up and nothing occurred from there.”
Ramsey and Tate share a family tie.
The Rams struggled to jumpstart their offense until the fourth quarter, when a TD pass from Jared Goff to Cooper Kupp secured a 17-9 win over the Giants.
Ramsey has two young daughters with Tate’s sister, Breonna. Tate was publicly upset on social media after the couple reportedly went through a breakup last year.
