After its defense allowed an opening drive touchdown to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, the Washington Football Team offense responded with a touchdown of their own.
Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke launched a dart towards the end zone where his favorite target wide receiver Terry McLaurin leaped over Packers defensive back Eric Stokes for a 40-yard touchdown.
Heinicke has struggled as of late, replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. He’s leaned on being conservative to cut down his mistakes. However, Washington coaches have encouraged the QB to make plays happen risk.
His ability to extend plays is his strength. And throwing in the direction of McLaurin is always a plus. McLaurin has been Washington’s top offensive weapon since being drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
McLaurin has gone through a number of quarterbacks since his arrival. But one common theme is finding No. 17 increases the chance of good things happening.
