Mike Evans' touchdown moves him to 12th on the all-time list

The Buccaneers are tearing apart the Eagles defense.

Tampa Bay, which had just 223 yards in a loss to the Broncos last week, drove the ball 79 and 80 yards for touchdowns to open Sunday's game against the Eagles. They lead Philadelphia 14-0.

Broadcaster and former Bucs quarterback Tom Brady said before the game that Baker Mayfield needed to find star receiver Mike Evans. Mayfield is 12 of 13 for 138 yards and two touchdowns, and Evans has three receptions for 27 yards and a score.

Evans' 2-yard touchdown moved him into sole possession of 12th place on the NFL's all-time touchdowns list. He started the day tied with Raiders receiver Davante Adams, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Evans' 97 touchdowns are just two behind Don Hutson, who ranks 11th.

Chris Godwin had three catches for 41 yards and Trey Palmer caught a 15-yard touchdown.
