It was before the Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean era. McLaurin was held to one catch for ten yards in a game where the Eagles played slow and finished fast.

What a day for Vic Fangio and the Eagles’ defense. Quinyon Mitchell erased Terry McLaurin. Downfield windows were non-existent. A couple of big catch-and-runs from the backs but otherwise a suffocating performance. pic.twitter.com/fciubA7BNZ
