TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't award wide receiver Mike Evans a new contract prior to the Sept. 9 deadline he and agent Deryk Gilmore set, but his play in Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Chicago Bears certainly made a case for it.
Evans finished with eight catches for 171 receiving yards and a touchdown, his 10th career game with 150 or more receiving yards. It moved him out of a three-way tie with Tyreek Hill and T.Y. Hilton for most games of 150 or more receiving yards since 2014.
