The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently giving the New Orleans Saints all they can handle, but they're going to have to go the rest of the distance without star receiver Mike Evans.
Evans injured his hamstring in the first half of the game and tried to come back in, but was eventually ruled out a few minutes into the third quarter.
Fortunately Rachaad White and the Bucs' ground game is carrying the load and the team is also receiving contributions from Chris Godwin and rookie Trey Palmer. The latter even caught Baker Mayfield's touchdown pass to put the Bucs up, 14-3 before halftime.
This is a big blow to the Bucs offense, as Evans was having a good game before the injury. He had caught all three targets for 40-yards (two of those were for first downs over Marshon Lattimore) and drew a costly DPI flag on the Saints cornerback, as well.
