00:00Maybe you share the story about the excitement of the Bucs.

00:06I mean, no.

00:07Was it the hottest win?

00:08Absolutely not.

00:09Overtime, they got the job done.

00:1026-23.

00:11Baker Mayfield, 235 in the air.

00:14Bucky Irving, just being the hero.

00:16You call Josh Allen a hero?

00:17Well, Bucky Irving is our hero.

00:19I guess Tampa's hero.

00:21I can't say our that much anymore.

00:22152 on the ground.

00:24And then Mike Evans, 118 in the air through eight receptions.

00:27You know that he is one of the ultimate heroes.

00:29And they're going to do everything possible to get him 1,000 yards,

00:31but that's going to be a tough one after some time missed.

00:34So, what do we see in this one?

00:36What we saw in this one is, I would say, speaking frankly,

00:41from the Panther side of things, they have looked better.

00:43They started off the year terrible, losing by 20, 30 points, whatever it was.

00:47They covered it last week against the Chiefs.

00:49They're going overtime.

00:50They covered today.

00:51Like, they are looking better.

00:52And credit to them and Dave Canales,

00:54like they are putting together a competent team, not like the disaster they had.

00:58So, full credit to them for doing that.

01:01The Bucs, I've been talking about Bucky Irving since like week two.

01:04And he's finally being like the featured back, which I think he should be.

01:09And then Mike Evans.

01:10I tweeted about Mike Evans today.

01:11I talked about Mike Evans on the 12 p.m. show and the halftime show,

01:15saying it was a Mike Evans game and they want to get him to 1,000 yards.

01:20And next week they play the Raiders.

01:22And I'm going to be saying the exact same things about Mike Evans,

01:25whatever his line is at.

01:26I assume it's going to be in the upper 60s.

01:27And it's going to be Mike Evans over 68 yards or whatever it's going to be.

01:31It was 64 today.

01:32And then Mike Evans, 70 plus, 80 plus, 90 plus.

01:35Coming into today, he had 403 receiving yards.

01:37He needs to average 99.5 receiving yards to get to 1,000 in the final six games

01:41of the season.

01:42He had 117, like you said today.

01:44117, 118, whatever it was today, 118 to be exact.

01:47So, that average change is going to be a little bit lower.

01:49It's a Mike Evans end of the season because, A,

01:52the Bucs still need to win games and he's their best player overall.

01:55So, good stuff.

01:57Baker did get a little bit banged up.

01:58We'd like to get some clarification on that with his ankle.

02:01He had to leave the game.

02:02Kyle Trask came in.

02:03But I think he'll be okay.

02:04It is the Baker-Bucky.

02:06I wish Mike Evans had a B in his name, but we could go with some alliteration.

02:09But it's not.

02:10But we'll go with Big Mike.

02:11So, Baker, Bucky, and Big Mike Evans.

02:13There you go.

02:14They actually have called him Big Mike because of his whole football

02:17slash basketball era or, you know, overlapping era.

02:20That big basketball guy.

02:22And we see the skills in the end zone sometimes.

02:24So, you know, I'll never root against Mike Evans.

02:26He's the hero for the Bucs.

02:28And Bucky Irving, you called that weeks ago.
