I’m happy to be in the same sentence as him, let alone break his record. Hopefully I can extend it really far,” Evans said.

Rob Gronkowski joked that he was open up the seam for a touchdown on the play. They don’t happen very often so I do remember how far they go," Brady said, unaware it was officially ruled 10 yards. On the next play, the 44-year-old scrambled 10 yards on third-and-4 to extend Tampa’s drive that ended with Ryan Succop kicking a 25-yard field goal that made it 10-3.
