On his first score of the game, a 63-yarder on a beautiful pass from Bucs quarterback Tom Brady, Evans extended his streak to nine straight 1,000-yard seasons, the most in NFL history to start a player's career.
This is the second time Evans has won a Player of the Week award. The last time came during his rookie season in 2014. He also joins teammates Jake Camarda and Devin White as 2022 Player of the Week recipients.
Evans has 77 receptions, 1,124 yards and six touchdowns this season.
His performance on Sunday helped clinch the NFC South for the Bucs and the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoff bracket.
