Twin targets Jackson, Evans back together for Bucs

Tribune staff

PHILADELPHIA — The Bucs had their twin towers back for Sunday’s game. And WRs Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans quickly showed what having matching, 6-foot-5 receivers can mean for rookie QB Jameis Winston.

Evans caught four passes for 63 yards and a touchdown, Tampa Bay’s first of the game. Jackson, who missed the previous three games with a knee injury, Jackson caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown — Tampa Bay’s second of the game. The early scoring receptions set the tone for a lopsided 45-17 victory.

“We got Vincent Jackson back, and you see the score on the board,” Winston said.
