"Despite the result, this was the best Dan Quinn's unit has looked since the skid began. The defense looked improved again, keeping Washington in the fight during the fourth quarter. The offense had some standout moments, including a highlight-reel Catch of the Year candidate from wide receiver Treylon Burks. However, the biggest difference-maker of all cannot be overthought. It was the long-awaited return of Terry McLaurin."
"McLaurin, playing for only the second time since Week 3, was supposed to be on a snap count. It was evident during the first half that the Commanders were trying to ease him back in, as he caught only one pass for 11 receiving yards before the break. But when the game was in the balance, he became the go-to guy. His final line was seven catches for 96 receiving yards and the crucial overtime touchdown."
Washington's losing streak reached seven games after an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football in Week 13. Dan Quinn's defense showed improvement, keeping the team competitive in the fourth quarter. The offense produced highlight plays, including a Catch of the Year candidate by Treylon Burks. Terry McLaurin returned for only his second game since Week 3 and was initially on a snap count, catching one pass for 11 yards in the first half. He finished with seven catches for 96 yards and the overtime touchdown, and drew much of his production against Patrick Surtain II. McLaurin's season followed a summer contract standoff and polarizing perception in Washington.
