Owner of one of the NFL’s most unique career arcs with seven seasons under his belt as a career backup, Jeremy McNichols, one could say, “reserved” his career’s most productive game to date for a perfect occasion. Exemplifying the meaning of being prepared for one’s moment, Washington’s running back followed his blockers down a left-sided alley, ultimately winning a 27-yard race to the endzone with a stiff arm, propelling his momentum forward. It marked both the Commanders’ 16th-consecutive drive with a score, and memorable touchdown No. 2 of McNichols’ veteran career. A full-on star during the 42-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals, McNichols offered eight carries for 68 yards and two scores.
