FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant laughed and shook his head when asked who has gotten the edge in the one-on-one matchups between himself and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans over the years.
"It's always a battle with him," Trufant said. "I think he's won some; I've won some. Honestly, that's what I can say. Every year, I know he's going to bring it. Every time I play against him, I can't half-step at all because I know he's with it."
In eight career games against the Falcons, Evans has 46 receptions for 692 yards with six touchdowns, 34 first downs, and 99 yards after the catch.
