One-handed highlight reel catch isn't enough for Mike Evans Mike Evans got off to a slow start in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles, with three of his five catches for 60 yards and a touchdown coming on one drive late in the fourth quarter. But he made a one-handed, highlight-reel snag of a 22-yard pass from Baker Mayfield that will become a viral video. "I obviously have to make way better plays out there, plays I'm used to making," Evans said. "I wish I could've made more plays sooner." Evans was coming off one of the best games of his career, a six-catch, 171-yard performance in a win against the Chicago Bears a week ago. He caught a touchdown pass for the third straight game but wasn't satisfied with his performance. As for the one-handed catch? Evans reached back with his right arm to corral a pass with Eagles safety Reed Blankenship draped all over him. "It's good for the highlight reel," Evans said. "But it didn't attribute to winning football. I wish I would've done it sooner, but a couple unfortunate things." Evans said the Bucs' lack of production on offense had more to do with their performance than the Eagles' defense. "No, it's all on us," Evans said. "I hope we can play them again in the future. We had a lot of opportunities. I just wish I could've started faster and helped our team." The Tampa Bay Times, published 26 September 2023
