Mike Evans made history in the second quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' matchup against the Atlanta Falcons Thursday Night Football.

Evans recorded the 100th touchdown of his career by catching a pass from Baker Mayfield for a 23-yard score.

It was his second goal of the game, as he had already found the end zone to tie the game in the first quarter.

99 of his career touchdowns came through the air, one of which was the result of a fumble recovery during the 2018 season. According to Scott Smith of the team's official website, Evans became the 26th player in NFL history to score 100 points.

He also surpassed Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin to rank 30th on the league's all-time receiving yards list.
