The Tampa Bay Buccaneers watched both Mike Evans and Jameis Winston suffer injuries in the team's 43-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

Evans left the game after catching 11 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He entered the NFL's concussion protocol.

"Mike played the best game I've seen him play in my time here," Dirk Koetter said. "Mike was fantastic tonight."

Winston suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter after taking a hit on a two-point conversion attempt.

"I take a lot of shots every week," Winston said. "I feel great."

In addition, running back Antone Smith left the game with a knee injury and had to be carted off the field.

The Buccaneers are 3-5 and 2.5 games back of the Falcons in the NFC South.
