Evans Suffers Broken Collarbone; Lions Win 24-9

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell 24-9 to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football as Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for two touchdowns and totaled 218 all-purpose yards, providing Detroit’s decisive spark. In the second quarter, veteran wide receiver Mike Evans suffered a broken clavicle and was ruled out for most of the regular season, coach Todd Bowles said. Evans — who had been limited earlier by a hamstring and had tied the NFL mark of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start his career — will likely see that streak end. The injury further weakens an already depleted Buccaneers offense that has also been without starters including Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving and Emeka Egbuka, forcing Baker Mayfield to rely more on younger targets such as Tez Johnson, Egbuka and Sterling Shepard. The loss dropped Tampa Bay to 5-2 and out of first place in the NFC while Detroit improved to 5-2.
