This superstar’s unexpected mistakes shocked Skip Bayless. The Buccaneers lost 25-11 to the Eagles on Monday night. Tampa Bay had a tough time scoring until the fourth quarter. However, Skip Bayless expressed surprise as star receiver Mike Evans managed to gain only 60 yards in the game, resulting in the Bucs’ loss.
Some people had less than flattering things to say about Mike Evans because he did drop some ball a few times at the start of the game, and Bayless was confused about why that happened. But Mike Evans showed everyone how good he is by playing very well and helping his team win the game against the Bears on Sunday.

The Buccaneers had a hard time moving the ball forward because Mike Evans did not catch a ball that was a little high, but he could still grab it. On one important play, Mayfield threw the ball to Evans in the place where they scored points, but Evans let it go. If he had tried to go closer to the ball, he might have caught it. Sadly, Baker Mayfield got hurt when he threw a long ball to Mike Evans, and the play did not work because of the dropped ball.
Despite this subpar performance, Mike Evans boasts an impressive resume, including a Super Bowl title with Tom Brady and four Pro Bowl selections.
