Taylor Heinicke completed 20-of-30 passing attempts for 201 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Commanders' 23-21, Week 7 win over the Packers.
Heinicke looked completely out of sorts to start the game, completing just one of his first seven attempts with a bad pick six. However, he recovered as the game went on, showing a connection with Curtis Samuel, Antonio Gibson, and especially, Terry McLaurin. Heinicke was able to find McLaurin deep along the sideline to extend the Commanders' final drive, which was critical in taking enough time off the clock to prevent a Packers game-winning field goal drive. Heinicke could play well enough to keep some fantasy value alive for the Commanders when they take on the Colts in Week 8.
