WATCH: Quinyon Mitchell throws Terry McLaurin in JAIL (again), mocks him with interception celly

Quinyon Mitchell’s performance against Washington in the NFC Championship Game was nothing short of spectacular.

Lining up against Terry McLaurin, one of the most dangerous receivers in the league, Mitchell was a one-man wrecking crew in coverage. He faced McLaurin on 36 of his 48 routes (75%), with half of those matchups coming in press coverage.

The result? McLaurin managed just one catch for 7 yards on four targets, and Mitchell added a fourth-quarter interception to ice the game.

This was nothing new. If you recall what happened during the regular season, then you probably figured that Quinyon Mitchell was going to dominate McLaurin yet again.

Mitchell did not have to shadow McLaurin based on both player's alignment tendencies.

McLaurin ran 40 of 48 routes on left side of the formation, while Mitchell played right cornerback (against the offense's left) on 69 of 72 defensive snaps.#WASvsPHI | #FlyEaglesFly

Quinyon Mitchell mocking Terry McLaurin

The Eagles’ secondary was a question mark heading into the season, but Quinyon Mitchell, along with Cooper DeJean and the return of CJ Gardner-Johnson quickly turned that narrative around.

The secondary isn’t just keeping up with top-tier receivers—they are erasing them from the game. Their emergence as a cornerstone of the defense is a massive reason why Philadelphia is heading to the Super Bowl.

All Things Philadelphia Eagles:

• Birds steamroll Commanders, punch ticket to Super Bowl LIX
• Eagles set Conference Championship record with 55-23 blowout of Commanders
• Eagles’ Tush Push sparks insane Goal Line sequence, exposes obscure NFL Rule
• Sirianni had nothing but praise for his quarterback Jalen Hurts after win
• Super Bowl LIX: Eagles primed to end the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty in New Orleans
