Ugly stat proves the Buccaneers cannot function without Mike Evans

Want a quick stat that is sure to both depress you but also higlight a franchise legend?

Since 2022, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-9 without future Hall of Famer Mike Evans on the field, and this season is no different. Evans played three games in September before a hamstring injury sidelined him for a month. During his return in October, he broke his clavicle in the first half and has been out ever since. Starting that week, the Bucs are 1-4 and losers of three straight.

What's the problem here? Can the offense not function without the elite receiver?
