Mike Evans literally won’t go down in grown man touchdown on MNF (Video)
Never mess with Mike Evans in the open field.
In Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown bullied his way into the end zone for a 16-yard score. A fellow SEC alum, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Evans, couldn’t let the second-year pro show him up.
On Monday against the Los Angeles Rams, Tom Brady connected with Evans inside the red zone. From there, the veteran pass-catcher showed why many consider him a top-five target by dragging several Rams defenders deep. Eventually, his brute strength outweighed Los Angeles’ secondary, bulldozing himself in for a nine-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7 apiece.
Wow Mike Evans! made himself look like A.J. Brown on that play.

Mike Evans’ hot start in the NFL
For those who aren’t counting, Evans is in an elite category when it comes to wide receivers. Since being drafted out of Texas A&M in 2014, he’s one of two receivers who have eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in a season six times to begin their NFL career.
Who’s the other you might ask? Hall-of-Fame superstar Randy Moss.
Evans with Brady has been a thriving connection for 2020. In nine games, the 27-year-old has 40 catches for 514 yards and eight touchdowns. In two drives Monday, Evans currently has two total catches for 13 yards.
It’s still too early, but a seventh 1,000-yard season could be Evans’ future for the start of a new decade.
