Watch: Tom Brady and Mike Evans get on the same page

Last week in his debut for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady threw a pair of interceptions, causing some to speculate that his time in Tampa Bay might not be as impressive as hoped for. On one of those interceptions, wide receiver Mike Evans stopped on a post route against a two-safety defense, and when Brady threw the route downfield, the New Orleans Saints were there for the interception:

As you can see on the end zone replay, Evans sits down while Brady throws the post. This makes the interception easy for the defense.

Early Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, the Buccaneers ran a similar play against a similar coverage, and this time Evans took downfield for the post route and Brady hit him in stride:

Here’s the replay angle, highlighting the route from Evans:

Brady and his receiver would then connect to finish the drive on a back-shoulder throw for a touchdown:

Perhaps Brady and his receivers are finally getting on the same page.
