Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans set a record and then revealed a hilarious reason why fans can't see him celebrate.

Los Angeles Lakers forward and known NFL fan LeBron James took to social media on Monday to congratulate Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans on making NFL history. "Super congrats my brother!" James wrote on X (formerly Twitter), alongside six flame emojis. "Too TOUGH!!"

There were 36 seconds left in the game, victory already in hand with Tampa Bay leading 27-19 against the New Orleans Saints, yet quarterback Baker Mayfield connected with Evans for a meaningless nine-yard gain. Well, it was meaningless to the game's result, but it meant a lot to Evans, the Buccaneers and their fan base.

Here's the inside story of how the Bucs worked to give their beloved receiver a chance at history, and how the team captured it all on video.
