The Redskins are 3-2 this season, and a big reason for that is Chris Thompson. The fifth-year running back has been a offensive spark plug for Washington, leading the team in both rushing and receiving yards. But on Monday night, his family won’t be coming to Philadelphia to watch Thompson and his teammates take on the Eagles.
On Wednesday afternoon, Thompson told ESPN 980 Washington host Bram Weinstein that his family wanted to come to Philadelphia to watch the game, but he told them he wouldn’t allow it.
“I heard that’s the one stadium you keep your family from going to,” Thompson said.
