WR Terry McLaurin (2x Pro Bowl, Washington Commanders)

McLaurin has best game of season in return​

After playing in just one of the Washington Commanders’ previous eight games due to a quad injury, Terry McLaurin returned to action on Sunday Night Football and had his best game of the season against the Denver Broncos.

McLaurin caught seven passes for 96 yards – both season-highs – including a touchdown with the game on the line on 4th-and-goal in overtime. Lined up against reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II, McLaurin beat Surtain on a slant route.


McLaurin became the first player to score a touchdown against Surtain since Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.


The touchdown gave the Commanders a chance to win the game in overtime, but their game-winning 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful when Broncos edge rusher Nick Bonitto knocked down a pass by Marcus Mariota. Nevertheless, the night showed a clear return to form for McLaurin, who had just 13 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown in his first four games of the season.
