Evans Up for Clutch Performer of the Week

After catching the game-winning touchdown against the Panthers in Week 17, Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been nominated for the Castrol Edge Clutch Performer of the Week Award. Evans caught a 10-yard touchdown from Jameis Winston to break a 10-10 tie with 3:13 to play in the game. Tampa Bay would ultimately win, 17-16. Evans finished the game with five catches for 65 yards on 11 targets.

Evans’ touchdown reception was his 12th of the season, tying a Buccaneer single-season record – one that he already owns. Evans also caught 12 touchdown passes in 2014, his rookie year.
