Alternate angle of one-handed Mike Evans TD catch is absolutely insane
By Josh Hill
Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans are no strangers to how incredible Mike Evans is; in fact, we've all been spoiled by a guy who is likely headed to the Hall of Fame one day. The idea that there's even a discussion about whether he belongs in Canton after all he's done is wild, but he finds a way to remind everyone on a weekly basis just how good he is.
We were treated to that right out of the gate on Sunday afternoon.
After a stunted first offensive drive, the Bucs started to find a groove later in the first quarter and it had everything to do with Evans. The run game got going in a big way which helped set up one of the best touchdown catches we've seen all season.
For Evans, though, it's just another Sunday in the office.
The fact that he's able to casually pull off catches like this is why he's the best receiver in football and it remains a tragedy that the rest of the league took so long to recognize his greatness. Bucs fans have been watching him do this for a decade and he has yet to disappoint.
Alternate angle of Mike Evans' one-handed touchdown catch is totally bonkers
As if the broadcast angle of the touchdown wasn't already impressive enough, the alternate angle from the back of the endzone somehow makes it even more incredible.
Evans missed the last three games before the bye week with a hamstring injury, which set him back more than it did Tampa Bay's offense. That's a testament to the job Baker Mayfield and Liam Coen have done turning the Bucs into a scoring machine, but Evans' catch is a reminder of how much better things are when he's invovled.
What the missed time did impact is his pursuit of anither 1,000 yard season. Evans hasn't gone under that mark in his entire career and is chasing down Jerry Rice's all-time record for consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. Coming into Sunday's game Evans was at 403 yards and needs to average about 99.5 yards per game the rest of the way to make sure he gets past that mark to keep his streak alive.
The touchdown catch was short yardage, but it was clear that Baker wants to get him the ball down the stretch of the season and Evans will find a way to reel it in.
