From the episode

The funny thing about Evans is beyond the quality of what we saw from him and him contributing the usage. It's a, it's a weird mix of stuff. We joked about this in real time for the most part, they're using him in the slot on third down. He's just super Jawan Jennings for most of this game. But then in the moment where you need him to be Mike Evans, picking the ball off Jalen Watson's help Watson's helmet, he's still able to do that.
