He rolls out, pump-fakes a guy and keeps his eyes downfield. Quarterbacks who don't have confidence don't make that pass. He says, 'Oh, Mike Evans is down there. He has a step on the guy. I can make that throw.' And he was doing that all day. What the fullback forgot, however, is that when Evans is pressed at the line of scrimmage, Juszczyk is supposed to alter his route so that he and Evans don't end up in the same area. He didn't, and he thought for a moment the ball heading his way had been misfired and was too high. Then he saw Evans snatch it for a 17-yard gain.

Evans caught key third-quarter pass on Purdy's confident throw for 17 yards.

Mike Evans was a key target for Brock Purdy in Week 2 against Miami, including a third-quarter throw where Purdy pump-faked and kept his eyes downfield to find Evans with a step on his defender for a 17-yard gain; Purdy's confidence in Evans' ability to win one-on-one matchups was evident throughout the game.
