One thing that the Washington Football Team didn’t get any of this season was primetime football games. That is, outside of Thanksgiving, which may be the biggest football day of the entire season.
Washington will be on the big stage on Thursday afternoon, taking on the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry World, in front of the whole world to see. For rookie DE Chase Young, who was used to being on the big stage in college, but has yet to have a breakout game in the NFL, he’s excited to have the extra attention, and he knows that everybody is going to be tuned in.
Chase Young said of playing on Thanksgiving: "LeBron's gonna be watching; everyone's gonna be watching. It's that time to get that money for sure."

LeBron James likely will be watching, along with the rest of the football world. There will be some added stakes as well, with a win for Washington putting them in solo possession of first place in the NFC East, giving them a clear path to the 2020 postseason.
We’ll see what happens on Thursday afternoon. All eyes will be on Washington and the Cowboys.
