Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been practically automatic when it comes to recording 1,000-yard seasons throughout his career, but it took until the final minute of the 2024 season for Evans to reach the 1,000-yard mark.
After missing three games earlier in the year because of a hamstring injury, Evans' 1,000-yard streak was in jeopardy. Evans came into the last game of the regular season needing 85 yards to secure his 11th 1,000-yard season, which would tie Jerry Rice for the most consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in NFL history. When the Buccaneers scored with under two minutes remaining to take an eight-point lead, they realized they might not get the ball back for Evans to get the final five yards he needed to break 1,000 yards.
