That was before the Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean era. McLaurin was held to one catch for ten yards in a game that saw the Eagles star slow and finish fast.

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