Despite hauling in eight passes for 152 yards, it was the catches he didn't make that haunted Mike Evans.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver dropped at least five passes against the New York Giants on Sunday, a few of them were of the drive-killing variety.

Following the game, Evans told reporters his performance was "unacceptable" and said his inability to hold onto the football cost his team the game.

The Buccaneers ultimately lost the game 32-18, and unfortunately for Evans, he was in on the final failed play, botching a lateral that resulted in a Trevin Wade defensive touchdown as time expired.
