Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans entered Sunday's regular-season finale against the New Orleans Saints needing five catches and 85 yards

They were also part of NFL history, with star wide receiver Mike Evans clearing 1,000 receiving yards on the season, extending his record for consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start a career, and joining Hall of Famer Jerry Rice as the only players to ever achieve that feat in 11 straight years.

Thankfully, Tampa Bay did get the ball back. On their final possession, with the victory and NFC South already secured, the Buccaneers had one goal in mind—get Evans over 1,000 yards. Baker Mayfield quickly connected with Evans on a nine-yard pass, putting Evans at 1,004 yards on the season.
