There’s plenty of blame to throw around if you are a fan of the Washington Football Team. On Sunday, the team endured a frustrating loss at home to the Los Angeles Chargers. There were several problems that resurfaced in the game. Pass protection was a major issue. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick left the game with a hip injury that will keep him sidelined for more than half the season.

The team replaced three out of five starters from last season. However, tackles Charles Leno and Sam Cosmi looked unimpressive in their first starts with the team.
