No. 2

Positive No. 2

Terry McLaurin returns to the positive side after a few games where he struggled with double and triple teaming.  The former Ohio St. star contributed 77 yards on seven receptions, including an acrobatic 30-yard catch early in the third quarter.  If Haskins had been able to get a better start in this game, McLaurin likely would’ve doubled his output.

Negative No. 2

It’s rare when the defensive line is singled out as a negative, but this unit was mostly ineffective for much of the game.  From allowing substantial yardage on the ground to applying very little pressure on the quarterback, the line was simply outplayed for the first three quarters.  The best unit for the Washington Football Team will need to do better in the final two games of the regular season.
