Just like that expectations for both the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia have to be rethought. That is because the Redskins have jumped out to an early 17-0 lead, as Case Keenum found rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin for a 70-yard touchdown.
McLaurin earned a starting wide receiver spot after impressing his coaches in training camp. So much so, they opted to cut ties with first-round bust Josh Doctson. McLaurin has not disappointed in his first NFL start, as exemplified by him burning the Eagles secondary for the long touchdown.
Washington’s early explosion has momentarily silenced Philly fans at Lincoln Financial Field.
