Rivalry Week is alive and well in NFL locker rooms around the country.
The Tennessee Titans shared a funny video on Wednesday involving two teammates on different sides of the Iron Bowl rivalry. Former Alabama LB Rashaan Evans was trying to talk to reporters at his locker room when former Auburn LB Daren Bates began blasting some choice music on a portable speaker:

Bates played at Auburn from 2009-12, a period in which Auburn went 1-3 in the Iron Bowl. Evans played at Alabama from 2014-17. The Tide notched a 3-1 record over the Tigers during those years.
The Titans are on the road this week, playing in Indianapolis on Sunday. Perhaps the two will be able to catch Saturday’s game on CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET from the team hotel. If they choose to make a friendly wager, the handicappers suggest Evans is more likely to win. Alabama is favored by 3 points over Auburn at Caesars Sportsbooks.
