The third touchdown of the day for Brady was an easy read as the Panthers were in single coverage on their side of the field against Evans. All Brady had to do was just get the ball out to Evans on what looked like a fly route.
BRADY. EVANS. THIRD TD TODAY!

This win over Carolina means that Brady and the Bucs are heading to the postseason. Tampa Bay also won the NFC South with the victory.
Last season, Brady led Tampa Bay all the way to the NFC Divisional Round before losing to the eventual 2021 Super Bowl Champion L.A. Rams.
Brady and the Bucs travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons and finish out the regular season next Sunday. No time or channel has been announced yet.
