Mike Evans makes Tampa Bay franchise history with latest TD

Mike Evans fantasy owners are probably as happy with the former Texas A&M standout as he is catching passes from Tom Brady.

Late in the first quarter of the Tampa Bay-Chicago game, Evans caught another touchdown. The score extended the Buccaneers’ lead over the Bears and made Evans the first receiver in franchise history to catch a touchdown pass in each of the team’s first games.

Brady plus Evans in the red zone has equaled six points for the Bucs. Brady is 5-for-5 for 12 yards and 5 touchdowns targeting Evans inside the 20-yard line.
