Game Ball: On a day when the Buccaneers saw WRs Louis Murphy and Vincent Jackson incur injuries, second-year WR Mike Evans picked up the slack with eight catches for 164 yards and a touchdown. Evans scored three plays into the Bucs' first possession on a 40-yard sprint down the left sideline, catching the ball just as he crossed the goal line inside the left pylon. He had another apparent TD catch overturned in the third quarter on a penalty but was effective all afternoon in moving the chains. His critical third-down catch late in the fourth quarter kept alive a drive that eventually saw Doug Martin break off a 49-yard run down to Washington's five-yard line.
