Terry McLaurin remains a bright spot for the Washington Redskins.
Despite Monday’s 31-15 loss to the Chicago Bears, the rookie wide receiver continued to shine — setting an NFL record in the process. McLaurin became the first wideout to have at least five catches and a touchdown in his first three games.
The 2018 third-rounder caught six passes for 70 yards and a touchdown. Through three games, he leads the Redskins in receptions (16), targets (24), receiving yards (257) and touchdowns (3).
McLaurin, though, shrugged off his accomplishments.
“I’m a win-loss kind of guy,” McLaurin said. “So when I scored, we lost. At the end of the day, what I want to do is come out here and be productive for my team. I’m trying to do that to the best of my ability. At the end of the day, I want to win and we all want to win. In the box score, it doesn’t say ’Terry had a great game, it says ‘the Redskins lost.’ I feel like that. Our team feels like that. That’s how I feel.”
Against the Bears, the 24-year-old hauled in a 15-yard touchdown between two defenders, displaying an impressive set of hands.
