The Washington Commanders aren't thrilled after their 34-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys over the weekend.

The Commanders nearly had a chance to come back when Jayden Daniels threw an electric 86-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin with less than a minute to go, but a botched snap on a missed extra-point sealed the loss for Washington.

McLaurin chimed in with his thoughts on the team's loss.

“We just didn’t play our best," McLaurin said postgame. "We didn’t play complimentary football. When you’re playing division games it’s going to come down to the four quarters. We knew that going into the game. We didn’t underestimate them at all but it’s just unfortunate when you can’t help each other on offense, helping out on the defense. They were doing a great job and we just really couldn’t get it going. We have to find a way to start faster and stay in the drives. That’s everybody, our whole coaching staff and offensive players going out there and figuring out ways that we can stay on the field and help the defense and vice versa all of us."

McLaurin and the Commanders will go back to the drawing board this week as they prepare for the Tennessee Titans to come to town. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
