“We Practice Two-Minute Religiously”
September 16th, 2025
Certain things are a must in the church of Todd Bowles.
No, Joe is not talking about a midseason nosedive. It’s working on late-game, situational football.
The Bucs mowed down the Texans last night with a diverse and methodical two-minute-drill drive, a touchdown drive, to beat a damn good defense in its home crib with a few ticks of the clock remaining.
Mike Evans talked about the Bucs’ proficiency in that realm.
“Everybody was calm. Obviously, we did it last week [in Atlanta]. Little bit different scenario, but we practice two-minute [situations] religiously,” Evans said. “And it was great for our preparation to come full circle tonight against Houston.”
Baker Mayfield’s first-down scramble on fourth down was huge on the final drive, and Evans said Mayfield had been sniffing that opportunity for a while because the Texans were giving him room.
“Elite playmaker” is how Evans described Mayfield.
He sure is.
