For its regular season finale, the Washington Commanders got Austin Ekeler back on the field. But head coach Dan Quinn pulled Jayden Daniels early. Still, the Commanders got another last-second win, and Terry McLaurin dropped a truth bomb about it, according to a post on X by John Keim.
This time rookie superstar Jayden Daniels foud Terry McLaurin for the touchdown and 20-17 lead after the PAT. The lead was short-live as Chase McLaughlin kicked a 32-yard field to knot things at 20 with 4:41 to go.
The Commanders are finishing drives and claiming victories. Which prompted Terry McLaurin to drop a stirring truth bomb.
The rookie quarterback has thrown 77 passes to the sixth-year wide receiver for 1,033 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. They are the first Washington QB-WR duo to be selected to the Pro
Commanders veterans Marcus Mariota and Terry McLaurin put the perfect ending onto a historic regular season for the franchise.
Having already ensured it was in the playoffs, Washington ensured it would get the NFC’s sixth seed with a dramatic victory.
The Washington Commanders won their first playoff game in 19 years on Sunday night, edging out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 23–20 nail-biter that came down to the final seconds.
While Jayden Daniels has received the lion's share of credit for the Commanders' resurgence, Terry McLaurin has been at the center of the turnaround.
