Losing 21-3, the Buccaneers missed on a potentially easy touchdown because of Evans’ drop. The receiver seemed to be open while running down the field. Before the massive blunder, Mike Evans pushed Panthers cornerback Dante Jackson to the ground, giving him an open field. To make matters worse, the receiver bobbled around with the ball, making it seem like he would eventually catch it. Unfortunately for the Bucs, that did not happen.
Twitter explodes after Mike Evans’ drop
Fans on Twitter erupted while expressing their disappointment at Evans’ mistake. Many also complained about their fantasy teams. After the game, Evans said that he “saw the light go out of us [the team],” after he dropped the ball.

Fans definitely expected Brady to erupt after the drop by Evans.
The Buccaneers are in bad shape
Missing a deep touchdown is only a part of Tampa’s woes. Falling to 3-4 after this defeat, the Bucs need to reconsider strategy all around.

With a visibly struggling offense, Tom Brady seems to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Yet Tampa remains atop the NFC South division. How long they hold that position will entirely rely on their performance in their upcoming games. They are set to face the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday.
