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.
Terry McLaurin: “We got a flair for the dramatics that’s for sure.”
Marcus Mariota threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to McLaurin with three seconds left, lifting Washington to a 23-19 victory over Dallas on Sunday. The victory clinched the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs for the Commanders.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin adds to late heroics
This was the fourth game the Commanders won in the final seconds this season. They also defeated the Bears on a Hail Mary, held off a New Orleans 2-point conversion with no time left on the clock, and had a game-winning touchdown against the Eagles in a dramatic come-from-behind victory.
What made this victory even more impressive is the fact Mariota authored the comeback. Behind Daniels, the Commanders managed only three first-half points.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said his team enjoyed the late success of Mariota, according to espn.com.
