The north London club opened up a four-point lead at the top of the table after dismantling Quins in the second half, Chris Ashton crossing in the 51st minute and Owen Farrell kicking five penalties and a conversion.
It was the first time in four matches that Saracens failed to finish with a try-scoring bonus point, but it was a result that confirmed them as the team to beat in the Premiership.
“In many ways that was the most satisfying win we’ve had this season,†said McCall, who confirmed Farrell left the pitch late on with cramp only.
“Gloucester, Bath and Quins in a row was a tough ask, but it’s been the manner of the way we started – we’ve played some decent rugby along the way.
