It’s wild how underrated Mike Evans has been throughout his decorated career.
Evans has bailed out the Buccaneers several times in the past decade, most recently in last week’s win against the Panthers on a day that put him in the history books with the great Jerry Rice.
With a three-point deficit in the third quarter, Baker Mayfield took three steps back and noticed Evans with the inside lane against his defender and hit Evans in stride for a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown to give the Bucs (5–7) the lead they never relinquished. It was a terrific call by first-year offensive coordinator Dave Canales on the first play of the drive.
