At 4-10 and with their final three games coming against division rivals, the Commanders have only one thing left to play for: bragging rights. If they can somehow beat the Philadelphia Eagles twice and the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day, this season will leave a much less bitter taste in fans' mouths. McLaurin is well aware, and he's fired up to lead his troops into battle. Technically, the Commanders have the chance to determine who wins the NFC East. It will almost certainly be the Eagles, who only need to win once more or have the Cowboys lose.
"We've already drawn against Union this season. We didn't win the last game, we haven't forgotten that - it's not been a perfect season. You always have to be strong at the end of the season - what you do at the beginning is a bonus. We want to be even stronger at the end. Even if the performances are good now, it's not an easy task, but we want to be even stronger at the end of the season than we are now."
