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.”

Watching back that Heinicke performance was something else. The first 15 throws were atrocious. Could have been picked 4 or 5 more times on top of the pick-6. But he found a checkdown to Rogers on his 19th throw and everything suddenly clicked. He was excellent after that

Next 3 throws after that checkdown to Rogers – Dime TD to McLaurin, step up to avoid pressure and find Rogers to convert 3rd & 2, Hit Samuel over middle to convert on 3rd & 11. Clearly feeling it at that point

Heinicke said he doesn’t care about doubters. “I care about people who believe in me. I want to prove them right.”

The Commanders topped 150 rushing yards for the first time this season (they had 166). They’re now 7-1 in games with 150+ rush yards since the start of 2020.

Aaron Rodgers said Washington’s defense “didn’t have to do a whole lot” against the Packers. “It was all two-highs, some match, occasional drop down safety, but they didn’t really do a whole lot.”
When asked about WAS’s lack of blitzing: “I think you know what it tells you.”

This is exactly why highly-rated quarterbacks should consider refusing to sign with the team that drafts them, if that team has bad players, coaches, owner. A horrible outcome in that first stop can completely derail or indefinitely delay a potentially promising career. https://t.co/0hfwrvAoEj

From a team spokesperson: “They should not have been asked to take down the signs. (Bags over heads are not allowed as it’s a safety issue.)”https://t.co/66JPhyfiDP

Commanders fans chanting “Sell the team” #HTTC
This was right after they booed Tanya Snyder who was on a breast cancer awareness video on the jumbotron.

“Likely per orders from upstairs, the stadium staff made its way around to all of the sign-equipped fans and asked them to put it away. Anything that said “sell the team” was not allowed.” https://t.co/J9mf0AKgSx
