Lee Evans was in no mood to talk Monday night after the Bills lost in stomach-churning fashion to the Cleveland Browns.
And after enduring just the second game in his NFL career where he did not catch a pass, no one could blame him.Evans did speak Tuesday on his weekly radio show in Buffalo, and he met with the media Wednesday — as he almost always does — and shared some of the aggravation he was feeling after playing a game in which he was barely visible.
"It was a tough game," said Evans, who by some observations was thrown to no more than three times in the game.
"It was a frustrating game. I think we did some good things to try to get back on track and there are a lot of positives to draw from, but it was a rough time after the game and I thought it was best that I didn't address the media with it.''
Evans is going through perhaps the roughest stretch of his career as he has only six catches for 63 yards in the last three weeks.
The Bills have been unable to get him the ball now that teams are rushing only three or four men and dropping everyone else into coverage. He sees constant double-teaming, and with no other receivers able to take some of the burden off him, he has become a ghost in the offense.
"They're basically dropping a lot of people deep," Evans said. "And it's hard to get open when they drop so many people deep and you really don't have a lot of underneath routes to hold people there. That's basically what it has been."
