‘Always Can Count on Him’: Tom Brady Heaps Praise on Mike Evans After Beating Eagles

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers proceed to the Divisional Round of the playoffs after humiliating the Philadelphia Eagles 31-15. The Tom Brady side looks like a complete team, even though they suffer from a receiver crisis. To add to their suffering, some other key players are also missing. Going down the playoff, stretch the squad continues to deliver again and again.

Just like against the Eagles, Tom Brady highly relied on the wideout Mike Evans since he was the only prime prospect available at that position. Yet the 28-year-old did not disappoint. He made catches whenever Brady was expecting of him, and he kept on delivering throughout the game.

Tom Brady on relying on Mike Evans

Although Brady chose much of a rushing game over receiving, it was a delight to see Evans make necessary plays. And so, when the star quarterback was asked about how much Evans relied on him and his performance. He replied:

“Mike played great just a great effort from him. Always can count on him; dependable, tough. Made some huge catches for us. He’s an amazing player. Doing just great stuff for us. Always comes through. He’s a great red area target great on third down. Used him in a lot of different ways. Glad he had such a productive day he’s an amazing player.”

Brady has been an angel to the Bucs. Since he has led them to two consecutive Divisional Round games, and doing that to a team that hadn’t been to the playoffs since 2007 is just commendable. The Bucs have seen a drastic transformation after signing the GOAT. And it won’t be surprising to see them make the Super Bowl, even after missing out on some key players.

The Bucs look sharp as ever before. And it’s not just the quarterback that has been working on his magic. The whole team has undeniable chemistry, and their defense has done a tremendous job in containing the opponents. The Eagles weren’t able to score a single point until the last quarter of the game. And the line hardly lets Brady choke.

After winning the Wild Card game by a big margin, the defending champions have now headed towards the Divisional Round. However, it is yet to be seen who among the Cardinals and Rams would go up against them. Who do you think would win the Super Bowl? Let us know in the comments below!
