Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver Mike Evans delivered another standout performance in a historic game against the Atlanta Falcons. Following up on a record-setting achievement just last week, Evans broke yet another milestone during Thursday Night Football.
He scored two touchdowns in the first half, bringing his career total to 99 receiving touchdowns, and added a fumble recovery touchdown, reaching 100 total TDs. With one more receiving touchdown, he will enter the NFL’s top 10 all-time receiving touchdown leaders.
Evans’ 99th touchdown came on a 23-yard pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield, giving the Buccaneers a 17-14 lead. This score ties Evans with NFL legend Don Hutson for 11th place on the all-time list.
This impressive performance follows his recent achievement of becoming the Buccaneers’ all-time leading scorer just a week prior.
After scoring his 100th total touchdown, Evans made sure to share the moment with a dedicated Buccaneers fan. With 100 touchdowns, including a fumble recovery, Evans continues to solidify his place as one of the NFL’s elite pass catchers. His strong connection with Mayfield throughout the game only highlighted his role as the Bucs’ top offensive weapon.
As Evans approaches his next milestone, fans are watching one of the franchise’s greatest players make history.
