The sight of Mike Evans stretched out on the ground in the back of the end zone, then limping off with a hamstring injury was bad enough. When Tampa Bay’s other top receiver, Chris Godwin, went down in the closing moments of the fourth quarter, the Buccaneers knew they were in trouble.
The loss to the Ravens wasn’t just about the scoreboard, which showed a double-digit deficit for the Buccaneers. The real cost came in the form of injuries to their top two receivers, leaving the team to wonder what could have been.
Evans, who has been one of the most consistent receivers in the league, went down early in the game. As he was racing down the sideline, he suddenly pulled up, clutching at his hamstring. The training staff rushed out onto the field to attend to him, and after a few minutes, Evans was able to limp off under his own power.
Despite the initial optimism, it soon became clear that Evans’ injury was more serious than initially thought. He was taken to the locker room for further evaluation and did not return to the game.
Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse, Chris Godwin went down with an injury of his own. As he was being tackled to the ground, Godwin’s leg got caught under one of the Ravens defenders, causing him to twist awkwardly.
The training staff rushed out onto the field once again, this time to attend to Godwin. After a few minutes, he was helped off the field, unable to put any weight on his injured leg.
The loss of Evans and Godwin was a devastating blow to the Buccaneers, who were already struggling to move the ball down the field. Without their top two receivers, the offense was unable to find any rhythm, resulting in a dismal performance.
As the game came to a close, the Buccaneers were left to wonder what could have been. With a healthy Evans and Godwin, the outcome of the game might have been very different.
Now, the team will have to wait and see how long they will be without their top two receivers. The injuries to Evans and Godwin are a significant setback, but the Buccaneers will have to find a way to overcome them if they hope to turn their season around.
