The Washington Football Team are in good spirits after beating the Cincinnati Bengals at home, 20-9 in their Week 11 matchup. Washington moves to 3-7 and are only half a game back from the division lead in the laughably weak NFC East.
Next week the Washington Football Team play their annual Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys and have a chance to take a division lead.
Rookie Chase Young was asked about his thoughts on next week's Thanksgiving matchup, and he mentioned…LeBron James?
“You know LeBron is going to be watching. Everybody is going to be watching,” the Washington rookie pass rusher said, via Ben Standig of The Athletic. The No. 2 overall pick must be eager to get out there and make an impression on one of basketball's greatest.

It's not like Chase Young hasn't already been an impact player on the field this season, however. So far this season, Young has 20 tackles, two forced fumbles, and 3.5 sacks. He has made his presence felt already.
No. 99 showed his hitting ability in Week 10's matchup against the first overall pick, Joe Burrow, on the goal line. Every football fan, including James, would be impressed by that.
The Washington Football Team has not been featured in a primetime game this year so far, so this will be the rookie's first game on a national stage.
The Cowboys offensive line has struggled this year, and ranks 25th in the NFL in sacks allowed thus far this season (2.9 per game). Washington's defense ranks fifth in the NFL averaging over three sacks per game. The stage is set, and all signs point to Chase Young having a monster game on Thanksgiving.
