If there was any doubt as to whether Mike Evans could still dominate at the highest level in the NFL, he has quickly shut down such narratives in his first month with the San Francisco 49ers.

The veteran wide receiver starred on Sunday as he made seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in his side's 32-29 win over the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

Evans signed a three-year $42.4m deal with the 49ers this offseason following 12 years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he recorded 11 straight 1,000-yard campaigns.

"Kyle Shanahan hasn't had that since he was offensive coordinator in Atlanta with Julio Jones," said Sky Sports NFL's Neil Reynolds.

"Hostile environment. 50-50 balls, going up and making amazing catches. Also, just as we were talking about Mike Evans making amazing catch after amazing catch, I dropped my pen, so not all of us can make amazing catches."
