Mclaurin shared to the media in post game,
“I ran a lot of cardio today. It happens. It comes with it when it’s tough, but yeah, it’s frustrating.”
His comments on his Sunday’s game performance came after for the first time this year he finished with zero receptions and just the second time in his five-year career.
The team QB Sam Howell was also questioned on McLaurin’s performance on Sunday and he said,
“Definitely not what we wanted to do. I have to find ways to get him the ball. Three targets isn’t enough for your best player.”
McLaurin leads the team with 67 catches, 694 yards and 90 targets this season, he has also only managed to reach the end zone twice and his average of 11.6 yards per catch is a career-low.
A high hope for someone who was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career in 2022 seems to be not the right track.
As for the Commanders team they recorded their fourth straight loss and dropped the team to 4-9. They will have their bye in Week 14 to figure things out before returning to action on Dec. 17 against the Los Angeles Rams.
