"Man, this is amazing," McLaurin said moments after his game-winning touchdown, which doubled as a franchise record 13th this season. "This is why you work so hard in the offseason. Going to the playoffs with a chance to win it all."
Despite the struggling offense in the first half, the Commanders rallied in the second half, scoring three touchdowns, including the decisive pass from Mariota to McLaurin in the final seconds.
The decision to sit younger quarterback Jayden Daniels at halftime proved pivotal as veteran Marcus Mariota stepped up to lead the team to victory against the Cowboys, solidifying a playoff position.
The stats showed it wasn't Daniels' best performance, with just 6-of-12 passing for 38 yards, leading to a disappointing first half for Washington.
