Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (31) made it 11 straight seasons with over 1,000 yards receiving during Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

The five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion has now tied Hall of Fame legend Jerry Rice for the most consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards. Instead of taking a knee to end the game, the Bucs ran one last play to get Evans over 1,000 yards. 

The milestone also extends the streak for most consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start a career. He is now four more away from breaking Rice's record (14). 

Evans finished the 2024 season with 74 receptions, 1,009 yards, and 11 touchdowns despite missing three games. 

Tampa Bay (10-7) won the NFC South title after beating the Saints 27-19 on Sunday. They can clinch the number three seed in the NFC with a Los Angeles Rams loss.

This now marks Tampa Bay's fourth consecutive division title and fifth straight playoff birth.
