Mike Evans caught 8-of-9 targets for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs’ Week 17 win over the Panthers.
Evans operated as the de facto goal line back for Tampa Bay, scoring his touchdowns from one and two yards out. When he wasn’t scoring easy touchdowns, Evans was busy gashing the Panthers for big gains. The veteran wideout caught three passes of 15+ yards. Evans is now 85 yards shy of his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season. With Tampa Bay playing for a postseason spot in Week 18, Evans is a good bet to get there in the final game of the regular season.
