"Kliff Kingsbury's offense didn't score a single point and turned the ball over three times. Jayden Daniels looked shaky in his return and re-injured his elbow after a third-quarter interception. He was relieved by Marcus Mariota afterward, and head coach Dan Quinn stated postgame that it was precautionary. Regardless, it was a nightmare afternoon, and that's not even mentioning the season-ending injury to Zach Ertz."
"That would be the hustle by wide receiver Terry McLaurin to prevent a Minnesota touchdown. This was just pure heart. McLaurin came from at least five yards behind Van Ginkel to chase down and tackle him at the 30-yard line, preventing his unimpeded path to a pick-six. Though it ended up being moot, his efforts saved Washington four points as the Vikings settled for a field goal on the drive."
"Commanders fans can put the "Terry McLaurin isn't a team player" narrative to rest McLaurin caught only three passes for 41 receiving yards in the Commanders' loss, which said much more about the inability to get the ball to him (or anybody else) than it did about him. But it was a play he made on defense that defined his afternoon."
Washington suffered a heavy loss as Kliff Kingsbury's offense failed to score and committed three turnovers. Jayden Daniels struggled in his return and re-injured his elbow after a third-quarter interception, prompting Marcus Mariota to replace him; Dan Quinn called the substitution precautionary. The team also lost Zach Ertz for the season. On one play, Terry McLaurin chased down Andrew Van Ginkel from at least five yards behind to tackle him at the 30-yard line, preventing a likely pick-six and forcing the Vikings to settle for a field goal. McLaurin finished with three catches for 41 yards after returning from a quad/hip flexor injury.
