As the Washington Redskins returned to Los Angeles for the second time this season, this time to face the Los Angeles Chargers, they looked every bit the 5-7 team that they walked in as. The offense struggled to get generate and sustain momentum, the defense was thoroughly gashed, and the special teams unit only added to the team’s woes.
Washington started the game on defense after winning the coin toss and deferring to the Chargers, and it was then that the Redskins’ troubles began. On the very first play, Chargers’ quarterback Philip Rivers connected with wide receiver Tyrell Williams for 34 yards, who was ultimately brought down by perpetual hard-working linebacker Zach Brown.
