Mike Evans rips down football for TD (Video)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans used his height in impressive fashion to rip down a touchdown.
Mike Evans has been making big plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. With the division leading Atlanta Falcons in town ,the Buccaneers were hoping that they could pick up a big win inside the division and toward their playoff push. Evans did his best early to get them on the board.
After scoring a touchdown to begin the game, Evans would get another to give Tampa Bay the lead again. As Tampa Bay took over after recovering an Atlanta fumble, Jameis Winston rolled out and threw it up to Evans. Using his height, Evans went up and ripped the ball straight down over his helmet to hold onto the touchdown.
For the Buccaneers, it was a huge touchdown and momentum shift to get the points off of a turnover. The defense did their job and got them the ball inside Atlanta territory. The offensive line had struggled leading up to the play, but they gave enough time to get Winston out on his feet.
Although he often struggles with drops, Evans managed to snag a couple of tough passes early for touchdowns. His latest one was pure strength.
