The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their third-straight game yesterday by taking down the Indianapolis Colts 38-35.
But, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for the Bucs. They had to overcome four turnovers, including three Jameis Winston interceptions, to get the win. Fortunately, on top of the interceptions, Winston also had four touchdown passes and a career-high 456 passing yards. One of those touchdowns went to wide receiver Mike Evans for 61 yards, who came up limping after the score and went to the locker room before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Evans will undergo an MRI to see the extent of the damage, but, according to head coach Bruce Arians, fans shouldn’t expect to see Evans back on the field again this season.
“It’s not good…I’ll be shocked if Mike makes it back before the last week.”
If it is the end of Evans’ season, he’ll finish the year with 67 receptions for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns.
Arians, in true Arians fashion, also spoke about his team giving up points early and having to storm back.
“It’s a damn good thing I’m a young cub. Coaching the nicest team in the league is tough. We just love spotting 17 points to the other team, then come back and winning. … I don’t think I have blood pressure anymore.”
The Bucs head back out on the road in Week 15 to take on the struggling Detroit Lions, who are just 3-9-1 and riding a six-game losing streak.
