Terry McLaurin on that last third down catch : “I want those moments… I don’t think it just happens… have to put in the work.”

Terry McLaurin on his clutch last catch: “You know who’s on the other side of the field.” Because McLaurin came down with it, Washington could drain more clock — and they ended up needing every second of it to beat Aaron Rodgers pic.twitter.com/N6KoGM5IP1

McLaurin said it’s extremely humbling that the team trusts him to make big plays like that fourth quarter third down catch

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) October 23, 2022

McLaurin relishes being the guy to go to in those situations. He said guys were coming up to him and saying “17, we need one; you’re the guy to make the play.”

Terry McLaurin calls Taylor Heinicke vibe "free-spirited" and says the QB "plays like it's his last game every single time." The team feeds off that energy.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 23, 2022

Terry McLaurin and Taylor Heinicke had a long embrace in the locker room just before McLaurin came out to talk to media. He said it was about the trust he and Heinicke have in one another to be able to connect on those big plays.

“That’s all I’ve ever wanted as a receiver.”

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 23, 2022

Terry McLaurin, with the one-liner of the year:

"Sometimes they say, “You gotta let dogs be dogs.’ I think we got a lot of dogs on our sideline and we’re just trying to get them all fed.”
