When Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston connected with Mike Evans for a 44-yard pass completion to the Giants’ 9-yard line with 13 seconds left last Sunday, it seemed like the exclamation point on a miserable game for cornerback Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins.
The big gain not only put the Buccaneers in position to kick a game-winning 34-yard field goal, but capped a monstrous day for Evans, who caught eight passes for 190 yards and three touchdowns. Most of that came at the expense of Jenkins, whose nightmare began during the opening drive, on which Evans beat him twice: first for 18 yards over the middle and then for a 21-yard touchdown, the first score of the game.
