On Saturday evening, Baltimore Ravens receiver Steve Smith was ejected from a preseason game after a kerfuffle with a handful of Washington Redskins players. (Redskins cornerback Chris Culliver was also ejected.)

Smith’s son, Peyton, leapt to his dad’s defense on Twitter.

But he also seemed pretty pumped that the NFL handed him some more quality father-son time.

(Thanks to SB Nation for bringing this to our attention.)
