Buccaneers star WR Mike Evans expected to miss rest of season

Wide receiver Mike Evans made probably the biggest play of the game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching a 61 yard bomb from quarterback Jameis Winston. However, on that very play, Evans pulled up limp as he yanked his hamstring; he is expected to miss the final three games of the 2019 season as a result.

In his absence against the Colts, wide receivers Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson stepped up big for the pewter and red, each catching a touchdown pass. Tight end O.J. Howard also took a step forward and finished the game with four catches and 73 yards on the day.
