TAMPA (SNN-TV) – The NFL announced today that Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 17.
Evans earned the distinction for the second time in his career, joining teammate Chris Godwin as the only wide receivers in franchise history to win the award multiple times.
Evans contributed 10 receptions for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Tampa Bay’s division-clinching win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 17.
The 207 receiving yards marked the fourth-most in a single game in franchise history and his three touchdowns were tied for the second-most in a single game in club history.
With his receiving totals on Sunday, Evans surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving milestone for the ninth consecutive season, marking the longest-such streak to begin a player’s career.
