McLaurin has dominated the Eagles since entering the NFL. Daniels struggled to connect with the veteran receiver early in the season, as McLaurin was targeted just four times in the opener and caught just eight passes for 39 yards in the first two games. After Kingsbury changed McLaurin’s role and began moving him around the offense, he finished with 82 catches and topped 1,000 yards (1,096) for the fifth consecutive year. McLaurin has had 64 catches for 917 yards and has scored six touchdowns in 12 games against the Eagles in his career.
