Having witnessed both the considerable highs and lows of Washington’s gridiron journey during his six-season career, it was only right for Terry McLaurin’s open-field vision to help guide the Commanders’ first NFC Championship Game trip since 1991. Obstacle-course like in his ability to elude the crowded Detroit defense during a wide receiver screen, the Pro Bowl pass-catcher mixes speed, perception, and a want-it-more mindset, securing a go-ahead 59-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Reaping the benefits of patience both on-field and off, McLaurin recorded a four-catch, 87-yard, one-touchdown night on Jan. 18, 2025, helping fuel a 45-31 upset victory over the NFC’s top-seeded Detroit Lions.
