Heading into Week 3, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 yards and no touchdowns through two games.
A lot of buzz surrounded him, as some questioned his lack of production and others labeled teammate Chris Godwin as the new No. 1 receiver for Jameis Winston.
Not so fast.
Evans caught eight passes for 190 yards and three touchdowns against the New York Giants and made a statement in the process. Insanely, all three of his touchdowns came before halftime.

While the Bucs lost the game by one point, Evans is back and will be a focal point of defenses moving forward after he reminded everyone about how dominant he can be.
Evans and Tampa Bay will travel to LA to take on a tough Rams squad in Week 4.
