With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver corps thinned out, Mike Evans stepped up in a big way in last weekend’s Wild Card victory, hauling in nine catches for 117 yards and one touchdown. Can Evans have a repeat performance against Rams corner Jalen Ramsey today, or will the Rams be able to pull off the upset on the road and upend Tom Brady’s quest for an eighth Super Bowl ring?
Strength on strength. Big on big. @jalenramsey on @MikeEvans13_.
