Texas A&M alumnus Mike Evans is well on his way to being a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer and the Tampa Bay superstar wide receiver got back on track this weekend with an impressive performance in front of a prominent former teammate.
With seven-time Super Bowl champion and Fox Sports color commentator Tom Brady in attendance, Evans ended his touchdown drought at two games with a tuddy in the first quarter versus Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon. The Buccaneers (3-1) held down home turf at Raymond James Stadium and earned a 33-16 win against the Eagles (2-2).
“There’s no way you can stay with Mike Evans,” Brady said on the broadcast.
Evans finished with 8 catches on 14 targets for 94 yards and 1 score. He bounced back from recording only 2 receptions on 3 targets for 17 yards in a 26-7 loss versus the Denver Broncos on Sept. 22.
Through four games, Evans is on his way to another 1,000 yard season with 18 catches for 214 yards and 3 touchdowns. Tampa Bay has a bye in Week 5.
