Overview

  • McMillan secured his first NFL touchdown on a 19-yard pass from Bryce Young in the second quarter, tying the game 10-10 against Dallas.
  • Earlier in the game, a McMillan bobble led to an interception by Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson, a mistake he answered with the scoring grab.
  • He entered Week 6 without a touchdown despite a strong start to his rookie year, posting 24 catches for 351 yards through five games.
  • The receiver has been consistently productive, topping four receptions and 62 yards in every game except Week 3 and logging a 100-yard outing in Week 2.
  • Coaches and Bryce Young have praised McMillan’s maturity and route feel, and he arrived as the No. 8 pick after a standout Arizona career with 213 catches, 3,423 yards and 26 touchdowns.
