After three straight losses, the Buccaneers needed a win, and they just about delivered. Baker Mayfield, despite staying under 200 yards, did enough against the Cardinals. Even with Tampa Bay sitting atop the NFC South now, the playoff outlook remains shaky with a 7-5 record. But the good news is that Mike Evans was back at practice on Wednesday, and his presence brings a whole different spark to the offense. His absence, according to Mayfield’s recent comments, really exposed the thin depth behind Evans at the receiver end.

“Mike knows whether it’s the run plays, where they load the box up, and you have one with him,” Baker Mayfield told the reporters. “You know, time and time again, I moved to him. Chris is just understanding zones down there.”

Mike Evans has battled injuries for most of the season, and Baker Mayfield admits the team feels completely different when he’s on the field. That perhaps says something about the backup receivers.
