Mike Evans had no catches on the Bucs’ first two drives. He had two on their third drive.
In no coincidence, the Bucs finally are on the scoreboard.
The wide receiver caught a 26-yard pass from Baker Mayfield to set up the Bucs deep on the Cowboys’ end. Four plays later, Bucky Irving was in the end zone on a 2-yard run.
It has drawn the Bucs to within 10-7 of the Cowboys.
Evans, who is trying to keep his 1,000-yard streak alive, has two catches for 29 yards. He entered with 749 yards. Evans has never had fewer than 1,000 yards in a season, with 10 consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards.
Irving has five carries for 31 yards.
