Five takeaways from Washington's win over New Orleans
The Washington Commanders secured their ninth win of the season by holding on to beat the New Orleans Saints, 20-19. Here are five takeaways from the victory.
Terry McLaurin continues to roll in what has been a tremendous season for the veteran wide receiver.
McLaurin had another solid day for the Commanders against the Saints, catching seven passes on 10 targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the first half. The first came between two Saints defenders on Washington’s opening drive, capping off an acrobatic play from Jayden Daniels, while the second put the Commanders up 14-0 on a three-yard grab.
Arguably his most impressive play, however, was a 25-yard grab in the third quarter that converted a second-and-11. McLaurin plucked the ball out of the air on the left side of the field, putting the Commander at the Saints’ 44-yard line.
The Commanders’ effort to get McLaurin the ball more often has paid off for them, as they are now 7-3 when he gets at least 50 yards. It’s also helped him have what’s shaping up to be the best season of his career. He is the first Washington wide receiver to have 10 or more touchdown receptions since Gary Clark did so in 1991, and his four multi-touchdown games are the second-most in the NFL this season trailing only Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase.
McLaurin is on pace to hit a career-high 1,172 yards with three games left.
