Buffalo Bills
On Sunday December 4, 2005, it was a big day for the two former Wisconsin Badgers from Bedford High School during a game between the Bills and Dolphins. Evans set then career highs with receiving yards (117) and touchdowns (3). Chambers set franchise records for receptions (15) and receiving yards (238) as well as scoring the game winning touchdown in the final seconds.
Evans quickly became a fan-favorite among Bills fans. After the departure of Eric Moulds, he established himself as the Bills' top receiver in 2006. He has become a big ally for J.P. Losman in the passing game, establishing himself as a deep threat at wide receiver. He currently has 8 touchdown receptions over 50 yards.
On November 19, 2006, in a game against the Houston Texans, he set the Buffalo Bills record for receiving yards in one quarter (205) and one game (265). He also became the first player in league history to record two 80 yard plus touchdowns in one quarter when #83 caught two 83 yard touchdown passes in the first quarter. [3].
