Bucs go down fighting to Lions. What's next for Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans?
After the Bucs' surprising run to the playoffs, coach Todd Bowles figures to be back. But what about stars Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans?JANUARY 21
Mike Evans - Over century mark in playoff loss Evans secured eight of 12 targets for 147 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact After a relatively quiet night in the wild-card win over the Eagles, Evans reassumed his usual role as the clear-cut top target for Baker Mayfield, finishing with team-high figures across the board for the Buccaneers' pass catchers on the day. The highly decorated veteran also delivered a clutch 16-yard touchdown grab with 4:37 remaining to bring Tampa Bay within one possession, and he was also the intended target on the subsequent two-point conversion attempt that fell short on a play where there was contact between Evans and the defensive back. A disappointing conclusion to the season doesn't take away from the fact Evans looked as effective as ever in 2023, finishing with a 79-1,255-13 line across 17 regular-season games. With his reception and yardage totals his highest since 2018, Evans, a pending free agent, figures to command a lucrative new contract from either the Bucs or on the open market this offseason.

Lions' James Houston and Kalif Raymond inactive; Bucs Shaquil Barrett and Chase Edmonds active
Detroit Lions edge rusher James Houston is inactive against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in an NFC divisional playoff gameJANUARY 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Patrick Laird - Won't play versus Lions Laird (coach's decision) is listed as inactive ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Detroit.
Impact Laird was elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row Saturday. It appeared he could have a chance to suit up for the first time this season with No. 2 running back Chase Edmonds considered questionable to play with a toe injury; but, the latter running back was ulimately listed as active Sunday afternoon. As a result, Laird will be ruled a healthy scratch for the second straight contest, leaving Rachaad White, Edmonds and rookie Sean Tucker to once again fill out Tampa Bay's running back room Sunday.
