Buccaneers WR Mike Evans – Rams-Buccaneers Postgame Quotes – September 29, 2019

(On what was clicking today after scoring 55 points on a good defense)

“We were hungry. We had a great week of preparation. We got some bad news about our GM Jason Licht. We wanted to go out there and play hard for him and his family.”

(On if they found out about Licht’s father’s passing last night or today)
“We found out about it last night, so that was on a lot of our minds.”

(On why the offense, especially the passing game, was clicking today)

“They were doubling me for the majority of the game and all of our other playmakers were making hella plays. ‘CG’ (WR Chris Godwin) balled out, they couldn’t stop him. ‘Rojo’ (RB Ronald Jones III) and (RB) Peyton (Barber) ran the ball well. We were just clicking. The O-line played great. It was a good all-around game for us.”

(On how good it felt to finish this week after the way things unfolded last week)

“It was easy. It’s football, we know anything can happen. They stormed back. We were up 18 in the fourth and they stormed back and almost had a chance to tie it up. Defense came up in the clutch and the offense put enough points on the board.”

(On the 67-yard touchdown pass from QB Jameis Winston and what they saw)

“Before the play he said, ‘Be ready for this.’ I was getting double-teamed the whole game and then the safety bit on the play action and it was one-on-one and I knew I had it and (QB) Jameis (Winston) threw a great ball.”
