Mike Evans contributes to 49ers victory over Tampa Bay

Mike Evans assumed a primary role in the San Francisco 49ers offense during the team's 27-7 win. The veteran wideout recorded six catches for 49 yards and secured a touchdown reception from Brock Purdy in the third quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan praised Evans' performance, citing his established track record on third downs and in the red zone. The team's offensive plans may rely more heavily on Evans moving forward, as wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling exited the game due to injury. Shanahan noted that Evans missed practice time during the summer, but expects the chemistry between the receiver and quarterback to continue improving. The 49ers coaching staff held specific expectations for the pair to work together during the offseason to prepare for this transition.
