The game began slowly for McLaurin. He didn’t get his first catch until the second quarter, a little six-yard crosser that gave the Commanders a first down. As usual, McLaurin didn’t complain, and he kept working hard, waiting for his turn.
On Washington’s first possession in the second half, Heinicke’s beautiful deep ball to McLaurin changed the game. The Commanders were ahead and seized the momentum. But that wasn’t McLaurin’s only meaningful contribution.
On Washington’s final offensive drive, McLaurin caught a pair of passes that helped seal the win for the Commanders. On a 2nd-and-6 with around 2:43 remaining, McLaurin caught a pass and went 14 yards to the Washington 43-yard line to keep the clock moving.
Then, three plays later, with the Commanders facing a 3rd-and-9 with a little over two minutes remaining, Heinicke took a big hit in the pocket, all the while firing a strike to McLaurin for 12 yards and a first down. That meant if Green Bay did get the ball back, there would be 30 seconds left with no timeouts. That’s what happened. McLaurin was huge in Washington’s win Sunday.
WOW 🤯
Taylor Heinicke stays in the pocket and delivers a dime to Terry McLaurin!
