Terry McLaurin scores a 36-yard TD, leading the way 14-12

The leaders are officially back in it.

Terry McLaurin took the catch and run for 36 yards. But Washington’s two-point conversion failed, keeping the score at 14-12, for the Eagles.

The score was created by a big sequence from Washington’s defense and Philadelphia’s special teams. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed a 54-yard field goal that would have made the score 17-6. Frankie Lufo had sacked quarterback Jalen Hurts on third-and-2 to back up a field goal attempt on a critical defensive play.

That gave the Commanders the ball on their 44-yard line, and it took just five plays to reach the end zone. Quarterback Jayden Daniels moved the chains with a 7-yard pass to John Bates. Then on third down, Daniels connected with McLaurin on a short pass and the receiver moved across the field to do the rest for a 36-yard touchdown.

It was McLaurin’s third reception of the postseason.
