ANALYSIS/OPINION:
In a season that couldn’t be much worse — beating Miami on Sunday was like putting a Band-Aid on a spouting jugular — thank goodness for Terry McLaurin. Washington’s rookie receiver is the gift that keeps giving.
Meanwhile, the team as a whole remains the toilet that keeps overflowing.
The 17-16 victory kept the Washington Redskins from continuing down the road to 0-16, leaving the Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals alone in walking that path. It should be noted that Miami came within a failed two-point conversion of winning, after eschewing a point-after kick that could’ve forced overtime.
