TAMPA — If you want to see more clutching, grabbing and holding than you will find at an airport full of holiday visitors, check out what defenders are doing to Bucs receiver Mike Evans.

In the past two games, Evans — already one of the league's best pass catchers with 1,100 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns — has virtually disappeared in the Bucs offense. Against the Chargers and Saints, he was held to a combined total of seven catches for 80 yards and no scores.
