Mike Evans’ big play sparks Bucky Irving’s touchdown run

Mike Evans had no catches on the Bucs’ first two drives. He had two on their third drive.

Not coincidentally, the Bucs are finally on the scoreboard.

The wide receiver caught a 26-yard pass from Baker Mayfield to set the Bucs up deep in the Cowboys’ end. Four plays later, Bucky Irving was in the end zone on a 2-yard run.

That has pulled the Bucs to within 10-7 of the Cowboys.

Evans, trying to keep his 1,000-yard streak alive, has two catches for 29 yards. He came in with 749 yards. Evans has never had fewer than 1,000 yards in a season, with 10 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

Irving has five carries for 31 yards.
