Buffalo Bills: 3 key matchups in Week 3 against Washington Football Team

Buffalo Bills Matchup #2: WR Terry McLaurin vs. CB Tre’Davious White

Taylor Heinicke’s plan under center was abundantly clear last Thursday: Get the ball to Terry McLaurin.

Of his 46 passes, 14 were directed to McLaurin. The next closest receiver was Adam Humphries who saw eight targets. Being the elite talent he is, McLaurin hauled in 11 of those balls for 107 yards and a touchdown.

This Sunday, Tre’Davious White will represent arguably the toughest corner McLaurin has had to face this season and vice versa.

Terry McLaurin had this to say, via the Washington Post:

"“His press-man technique is very patient, he does a really good job of cutting off the receivers when they get into the stems of their routes,” McLaurin noted. “He’s strong when he’s in press coverage with his jam and he can run with pretty much any receiver which makes it really tough. “When he’s playing off he does a really good job of reading the receiver’s body language, so if you’re taking any false steps, if you’re leaning any routes, he’s going to jump it. He does a really good job of undercutting routes, so you’ve got to be able to fight through the contact when you’re playing a guy like that. You’ve got to be able to get on his toes and dictate a little bit, and just be ready for contested catches and a four-quarter battle when you’re going up against a guy like that, because he can cover from left, right, slot, he can pretty much do it all and I’ve got respect for the way he plays DB and the way he competes. Games like this are fun for me because you get to go up against another really good player and see where you measure up and that’s why you love playing in the NFL.”"

That pretty much sums up exactly what fans should expect in this battle between two of the very best at their position.
