Bosa has career-high performance, Terry McLaurin and Chase Young showed out (again)
Sigh. We had yet another weekend sans Ohio State football. Luckily, there’s an army of Buckeye alum who make up for that on Sunday’s, especially when they perform the way they did over the weekend. Below are some of the standout performances from your favorite NFL Bucks.
The Rookies
The Washington Football Team can thank their lucky stars that they somehow landed both Terry McLaurin and Chase Young, who each had record-book performances in their blowout win over Dallas on Thanksgiving.
McLaurin finished the day with seven catches for 92 yards, earning him this impressive stat:
It's a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
Terry McLaurin (1,826, as of halftime) has joined Charlie Brown (1,975) as the only @WashingtonNFL players since the 1970 merger with 1,800+ rec yards in their 1st 25 career games.

On top of that, he prevented a pick six that would have tied the game.
Terry McLaurin wasn’t going to let Jaylon Smith score

Which earned him this stat:
Terry McLaurin's max speed of 20.99 MPH is the 3rd-highest by a skill-position player making a tackle this season. DK Metcalf owns the fastest at 22.64 MPH

Young also set a few career-bests on Sunday.
Chase Young set or tied career-best marks in several pass rush metrics in Washington's Thanksgiving Day win on the road in Dallas.

➤ 16.1% pressure rate (highest)
➤ 0.74 second get-off (quickest)#WASvsDAL | #WashingtonFootball

And the only reason you’re not seeing more of this from Young...
Is because the rookie is being double-teamed so often that only six edge rushers — J.J. Watt, Joey Bosa and Myles Garrett included — receive more double-teams.
Chase Young has been double-teamed at an exceptionally high rate, a sign of respect few rookies ever get.

Rams safety Jordan Fuller also had himself a day. After his game on Monday Night Football in Week 11 when he snagged his first two interceptions of his professional career, both at the hands of Tom Brady, he kept the momentum going on Sunday against the 49ers, when he intercepted Nick Mullens after Aaron Donald tipped the pass.

Other miscellaneous news and notes for Buckeye rookies
Sunday was truly a big fat recruiting advertisement for the GOAT himself, Larry Johnson, as Joey Bosa had his best career performance against the Bills, racking up three sacks, five QB hits, a fumble recovery, and eight total tackles.

Bengals safety Vonn Bell— one of the few glimmers of hope for the team— finished his game against the Giants with a team-leading 10 tackles and one of the smoothest forced fumble and recovery I’ve ever seen.
