The night started out perfect for Mike Evans as he caught the 100th touchdown pass of his career in the first-quarter. Unfortunately, he was hurt midway through the second trying to haul in another. The Buccaneers announced shortly thereafter that he was out for the game.

Evans visibly was in pain after failing to complete the catch. He clutched at his hamstring, pounded the ground and was heard screaming expletives as the game went to commercial. The broadcast returned in time to catch him limping into the locker room with trainers.

Evans had just one catch for that 25-yard TD before leaving the game. He was a popular pick in the player prop market and fortunately hit several of his props on his one snag including anytime TD, first TD scorer and longest reception (23.5). However, he obviously came up short for catches (4.5) and receiving yards (56.5).
