Terry McLaurin and the Washington Football Team are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. The Dallas Cowboys are dominating Washington in its own home and may have lost McLaurin, the team's best receiver, for the rest of the game.

McLaurin, who has been getting locked up by Trevon Diggs all afternoon, took a hard fall early in the second half and went into the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion.

This is a scary and unfortunate injury for Washington, who is about to see a four-game winning streak end if it doesn't get it together quickly. McLaurin's 808 receiving yards, 61 catches and five touchdown receptions all lead the team. With Taylor Heinicke struggling to sustain drives and Antonio Gibson not even cracking 40 rushing yards in the first half, McLaurin's absence is extra brutal.
