Terry McLaurin did it in front of his hometown!
3rd Quarter
Trick or treat:

Turnover on downs:
Not to encroach on @michaelpRTD ‘s territory, but this is absolutely the wrong play-call/formation for a 4th and short situation.
Sigh. pic.twitter.com/ty9AL6JOh5

Zero push up front. Was a tough one. Could have pinned a struggling O deep in a defensive struggle. Got no push up front

Kam Curl:
BOOM.

Colts FG:
Indy chips away at Washington’s lead with a field goal. Jonathan Taylor was stuffed on a third-and-3, leading to the 39-yard kick. The score with 7:13 left in the third quarter: WAS 7, IND 6

No flag for targeting here?

No running game:
Gibson and Robinson have combined for 13 carries, 36 yards.
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 30, 2022
3rd and long:
Washington has faced third and at least 10 four times. Hasn’t converted any of them. Really makes it difficult to sustain drives like that

Alec Pierce bomb:
St-Juste gets beat off the release. Bites on the jab step and lets the WR work free inside. Can’t catch up and Colts hit a big gain pic.twitter.com/pR3FHL6Y6P

Jonathan Taylor fumble:

Darrick Forrest forces the fumble, and Casey Toohill recovers!

3rd down sack:
Heinicke sacked all the way back at the 6-yard line. Way will be tasked with punting from his own end zone. #HTTC

Tress Way:
Absolute bomb from Tress Way from his own endzone to save WSH’s defense a short field sudden change. 65 yard boot. #Commanders

Penalty:
Big Ehlinger run coming back. Clear hold on Daron payne

Big screen:
Colts hit a tunnel screen to Campbell. Curl gets blocked on the edge and the rest of the defense is trapped inside. Campbell gets 40 yards down the field before McCain can force him out of bounds pic.twitter.com/m5eFFODmGs

4th Quarter
Jamin Davis:
Jamin Davis has been better in recent weeks in getting tighter to RBs out of the backfield. But here, he sits back and can’t catch up as the RB turns up the sideline for a big gain pic.twitter.com/NLOyymhpjH

Premature confetti:
Looks short to me.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/cK7mPiRIAK
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) October 30, 2022
Bobby McCain — still perfect as an unofficial ref.
He was adamant after the play that the Colts were short. What a waste of confetti.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 30, 2022
So they shoot confetti off for TDs here in Indy, and they blasted out the confetti, and then the ref said no score it’s 3rd down. On a boring afternoon that’s pretty funny
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 30, 2022
Big Jamin Davis stop:
WOW
Jamin Davis with a huge tackle for a loss on the goal-line.
Touchdown saving tackle!
Maybe Jamin’s best individual play in the burgundy and gold?#HTTC | @jamindavis25 pic.twitter.com/4I7Yx5Zcca

Jamin Davis comes free up the middle and makes the tackle in the backfield to force a stop on 3rd and goal. Colts kick a FG to take the lead pic.twitter.com/iynVz9cUUW

Taylor Heinicke INT:
That was a horrible decision by Heinicke.
That throw was to a 3-on-1 mismatch. pic.twitter.com/wfzK8KRHKm

Easy TD:
Colts put Sweat in a tough spot and he can’t adjust to the ball outside. RB runs in for the TD and Colts extend their lead. #Commanders in trouble pic.twitter.com/8tMwlCqqSj

4th down conversion:
Must have 4th down conversion, #Commanders run sail, Samuel gets open on the sail route and Heinicke finds him for a 1st down pic.twitter.com/LojoPH3IBt

FG:
Heinicke throws into the ground on 3rd and 3. FG unit comes for a 28-yarder and it’s… good.
Colts 16-10, 4:55 remaining.

Short on the scramble:

Final drive:
Commanders trail 16-10, with 2:39 remaining. Ball at the 11.
Can the Taylor Heinicke legend add another chapter??
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 30, 2022
1st down!:
No idea about the 3rd down play, but on 4th down, Heinicke just about manages to find a way to convert and keep the game alive pic.twitter.com/svPOkkl3dA

Hometown kid:
THE HOMETOWN KID
Terry McLaurin with the absolute CLUTCH grab and the Commanders are on the 1yd line with 26 seconds left on the clock.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?#HTTC | @TheTerry_25 pic.twitter.com/rbIwIxjJIv
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) October 30, 2022
Watch this. This is important.
Terry McLaurin’s clutch catch came on an improvised route!
The play broke down and McLaurin, who was originally on a curl, saw Heinicke scambling and instantly made himself a deep option.
That is football IQ you can’t teach.#HTTC | @TheTerry_25 pic.twitter.com/8QyF4ppEsw
