Mike Evans bobbled up big time in Week 7

The Buccaneers fell short in front of the Panthers at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The fans thought it to be a comeback, but they could not clinch the win. Tampa Bay fell to 21-3. However, a moment from the game could keep the fans angered when Mike Evans messed it up.

On the third play of the game, Tom Brady’s exquisite toss to Mike Evans could not result in a sure score. The receiver could not keep the grip, and he missed it. After that, the team barely reached the end zone again.

The Bucs now have a big target in Week 8 after they take on the Baltimore Ravens. It is yet to see if they pull a comeback.
