The Buccaneers opened Sunday’s scoring with a pass to wide receiver Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield extended their lead by going back his way in the second quarter.
Evans caught a one-yard pass from Mayfield to give the Bucs a 20-7 lead with over eight minutes to play in the half. Evans is now up to 11 touchdowns on the season and 105 for his career.
While Evans got the touchdown, running back Bucky Irving did the heavy lifting. Irving followed a 34-yard run with a 42-yard catch to put the Bucs on the lip of the end zone.
Mayfield is now 11-of-13 for 170 yards on the day. He’s over 4,000 passing yards for the season, which makes him 2-for-2 on that front since coming to Tampa.
