Bucs Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans finish TD drive

ATLANTA – After giving up a first drive touchdown to Drake London and the Atlanta Falcons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers responded with a 2-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Baker Mayfield to wide receiver Mike Evans to make it 7-7. Balance.

On the play, Mayfield moved to his right and threw across his body, finding an isolated Evans on a cross route with the middle of the field wide open as both Bucky Irving and Rachaad White moved across the back of the formation. Chris Godwin and Cade Otton lined up on the right.

The Bucs had gone 22 straight weeks without scoring a touchdown on their opening drive before last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles and have now done so two weeks in a row.

The Bucs hit a 53-yard field goal with 1:22 left in the first quarter to extend their lead to 10-7.
