TAMPA — Bruce Arians doesn’t blame Tom Brady for looking for Mike Evans when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are close to the goal line.

“Oh yeah, I can play quarterback down there with Mike. I mean, Tom loves it, though. It’s like having an unguardable guy,” Arians said of the 6-foot-5, 231-pound Evans. “But you know, I don’t necessarily like throwing it from the half-yard line, but I’ll take it.
