This play, obvious before the snap, showcased Mike Evans's talent and the strategic decision-making of offensive coordinator Liam Coen, despite the game’s apathy from the Saints.
Tying Jerry Rice's record with his ninth consecutive 1,000-yard season, Evans received a heartfelt standing ovation from the Bucs fans, recognizing the emotional and financial significance of the catch.
Coaches Bowles and Coen opted for a pass play instead of a kneel, indicating a calculated risk to ensure Evans achieved his milestone, showing faith in their star receiver.
After the game, Bowles expressed relief at the completion, implying the risk of a turnover was real, yet the decision to pass was ultimately rewarded through Evans's achievement.
