It was Evans’ fourth touchdown catch of the season and 85th of his career, which now ties him with Lance Alworth, Hines Ward and Paul Warfield for 18th-most.
It was Evans’ fourth straight home game with a touchdown, one shy of the longest streak in Bucs history which has been done three times, including by Evans in 2021, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
