TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mike Evans hopes one of his idols, Randy Moss, was watching.

Tampa Bay’s career receiving leader went over 1,000 yards for the 11th consecutive season Sunday, tying Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s NFL record and remaining on track to meet a challenge Moss, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, posed when Evans broke one of his records four years ago.

Evans is the only player in league history to begin a career with 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons. He reached the milestone this season despite missing three full games and most of a fourth with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for much of a four-game losing streak that threatened to undermine Tampa Bay’s bid for a fourth straight NFC South title.

“I trained with Randy. I’ve been praying for him and his family. He’s one of the best receivers ever,” Evans said after reaching the milestone on a 9-yard reception from Baker Mayfield on the final play of the Buccaneers’ playoff-clinching 27-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
