The full read
Nothing to nothing against the Packers, seven 15 left in the first quarter, first and 10 at the Green Bay 49. Jalon Daniels threw deep left for Emeka Egbuka, and Williams intercepted at the 32. −4.4 expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — and −9.3 points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it. Green Bay drove 68 yards the other way for the game's first touchdown.
The line: four targets, two catches, 13 yards, one first down. The first down came down 17 to 14 with seven 45 left, eight yards on third and seven from his own seven. The other catch was five yards on third and 16, the snap before the fourth-down incompletion that ended the game. Seven Buccaneers were thrown to; Chris Godwin led with seven targets.
Back in June the preview asked whether the targets Mike Evans left behind would come to Egbuka or scatter. Through three games they came to him. Sunday, with a new quarterback throwing, they scattered. Four games: 24 targets, 15 catches, a hundred 54 yards, one touchdown, still one more target than Cade Otton.
