The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are starting off hot in Tampa Bay.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing the Washington Commanders in their season opener at home, and it was a slow start. The Buccaneers made good progress on their first two drives, but they had to settle for field goals both times and led the Commanders 6-0. Washington missed a kick with an opportunity to score, so the Bucs needed to capitalize — and that's exactly what they did.
With 17 yards to goal after a solid few pitch-and-catches, including one from Trey Palmer, Baker Mayfield fired a pass off to Evans. He was absolutely blanketed by corner Benjamin St.-Juste, but even with that, he was able to make the grab on a very well-thrown ball to give Tampa Bay their first touchdown of the regular season.READ MORE: How to Watch Tom Brady's NFL Broadcast Debut Today
