Several Eagles fans were joyed by Brown’s tackle to prevent a possible touchdown. One user wrote, “If he didn’t drift away from the ball and came back to it it’s an easy catch. It also still hit in the hands. Absolutely should have had it. Especially being Mike Evans.”
Many Buccaneers fans blasted Evans for the miss. One user wrote, “Yep. Mike Evans should’ve attacked the ball since it didn’t have enough velocity but he kept drifting back towards the endzone. Got too greedy for the TD.”
“Mike Evans has to have the worst hands of a “top” receiver in the league.” another fan wrote.

Wide receiver Mike Evans, a seasoned member of the National Football League (NFL), now competes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played collegiate football for Texas A&M, where in 2013 he achieved the distinction of becoming a unanimous All-American. After being chosen by the Buccaneers in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Evans joined the league.
Evans has made a lasting impression on the NFL with his selection to four Pro Bowls and Second-team All-Pro honors in 2016. In terms of career receptions, yards, and touchdowns, he holds an incredible number of Buccaneers receiving franchise records.
Evans is notable for having started his NFL career with nine straight seasons with more than 1,000 receiving yards. The Super Bowl triumph he had over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV was his greatest accomplishment.
He is regarded as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL due to his dominant physical presence, quickness, and excellent leaping abilities.
