Momentum is the name of the game, and the Tampa bay Bucs could’ve seriously used this touchdown. Nothing is going right for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense – even their best players.
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady dropped back in the opening minutes against the Panthers and heaved a pass for star receiver Mike Evans, who was by himself for an easy touchdown.
Evans practically had a touchdown in his hands…until it slipped away.
After the game, Evans put the blame on himself over that dropped pass.

Despite Evans blaming himself, his QB came to his defense.

The Panthers entered the game as a 13.5-point underdog and ended up winning 21-3.
Brady has never been .500 after eight games of the season and things are not getting any better as they face off against the Ravens on Thursday.
