Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has cracked the 1,000-yard mark in each of his first six seasons in the NFL. But with just one game remaining in the 2020 campaign, Evans currently sits at 960 yards receiving.

The expectation heading into the season was Evans, Chris Godwin and Co. would thrive with Tom Brady under center. While the star wideouts have certainly had their moments, the synergy hasn't always been there for Tampa Bay's offense.

However, Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said the team recognizes the importance of Evans' streak and will make a concerted effort to get him the ball Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

“I think it’s important for him and us,” Leftwich said of Evans' streak, via the team's website. “I think it’s important, really, for this organization to have that. That’s a unique thing. Any time that you can be one of one [in] anything, [with] all the special players, all the great players that have came through this league that have done the things [and] played that position. He has the opportunity to be one of one. That’s a unique thing and that just shows how good of a football player he is. That’s special to be one of one of something like that. That’s unique, so obviously you want him to be able to get it. We’re not going to try to force it, but we’re just going to have him play, let Mike be Mike and we’ll see.”

Evans will almost certainly get to 1,000 yards if he plays anything like he has in the past couple of weeks.

The 27-year-old put together a pair of explosive performances, going for 110 yards receiving in a Week 15 win over the Falcons before shredding the Detroit Lions with 10 catches for 181 yards and two scores last weekend.

Tampa Bay will try to feed Evans the pigskin Sunday as it looks to close the season on a high note.
