Mike Evans scores 98th career receiving touchdown, 12th vs. Falcons

Receiver Mike Evans scored his 98th profession receiving landing on the Buccaneers’ first drive Thursday night time. Maybe none has been simpler.

The Falcons appeared confused defensively, with cornerback A.J. Terrell dropping Evans in protection.

Baker Mayfield discovered Evans large open for a 2-yard rating to tie the Falcons 7-7. It was Evans’ twelfth landing in opposition to the Falcons, which ties Terrell Owens for the second-most receiving touchdowns ever in opposition to Atlanta.

Evans has three receptions for 26 yards, surpassing Corridor of Famer Michael Irvin for the Thirtieth-most receiving yards in NFL historical past. Irvin had 11,904 for the Cowboys.

Evans surpassed former fullback Mike Alstott for the ninth-most video games performed for the franchise with 159.

The Bucs listing receiver Kameron Johnson as questionable to return with a proper ankle harm. It is the identical ankle that saved him out Week 3.
