ATLANTA -- Taylor Heinicke faked a handoff, turned and encountered a dangerous situation on Sunday: a free rusher coming right at him. Then the Washington Football Team quarterback did what he does best: He improvised. He stepped right, was spun around by the defender, stepped to his left and lofted a high toss into the end zone as another defender drilled him.
The bloop throw was caught for a touchdown by receiver Terry McLaurin in Washington's 34-30 win against the Atlanta Falcons. It was yet another example of how Heinicke can overcome his flaws.
